Fletcher Maynard Academy and NuVu Studio Celebrate Food Day with Healthy Breakfast Treats Cambridge, October 24, 2011

A group of 5th and 7th grade students from the Fletcher Maynard Academy experienced a special treat for Food Day (October 24). They visited our studio and were treated to some futuristic breakfast foods, including berry protein smoothies (with a whopping 30g protein per serving), berry dark chocolate popsicles, and breakfast popcorn with many different flavors, such as dried fruits and honey with nuts. With Food as the theme for our trimester, the 20 plus high school students attending our program this Fall spent the past two weeks creating healthy, tasty and on-the-go innovative breakfast foods for their young guests. When visiting students were asked about their favorites, popcorn and smoothies were front runners, but almost all of the samples had disappeared by the time the visit ended. Food Day, organized by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, seeks to bring together Americans from all walks of life to push for healthy, affordable food that is produced in a sustainable and humane way.
