"Breakfast on a Stick" One team at NuVu is creating healthy breakfast "popsicles" - breakfast-on-the-go-on-a-stick, made of frozen and freeze dried fruits, sunflower seeds, pepitas and almonds with a gelatin raspberry shell formed around the core using liquid nitrogen. They are also experimenting with ways to make the stick edible, so the entire piece will be consumable.


"Breakfast Popcorn" Another team is working on creating healthy breakfast popcorn using dried fruit and pumpkin seeds with the same crunchy goodness of regular popcorn. The first tasting samples were received with delightful "yum's."


"Power Apple" Another group of students is thinking of ways to cleverly infuse fruits with nutritious ingredients. Today, they tested a hollowed-out green apple filled with rolled oats, frozen berry fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), raw honey and peanut butter. They re-formed the apple using gelatin and an organic enzyme glue (transglutaminase).


"Rich Donuts" These test "donuts" were made by another student team out of egg whites. They will test filling them with various fruit and nut ingredients.
