Welcome to Brighter Bites!

WHO IS BRIGHTER BITES?

We’re a team of parents, educators, nutritionists, and volunteers who hope to make our world brighter, one bite at a time.

We believe good food should be as easy to find as it is to eat. So we’re here to help bring healthier choices into the homes, minds, and mealtimes of our community’s kids and their families.

OH YEAH? HOW?

We start by delivering fresh fruits and veggies directly into our kids’ hands, teaching them how to use and choose a different kind of fast food.

Each week, your child will take home two bags of fresh produce from school—bags chock full of everything from apples and oranges to kale and cauliflower—a colorful variety of foods all delicious and nutritious in their own unique way.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS HANDBOOK?

Use this handbook to find nutritious tips, tools, and ideas for preparation to help guide you and your student through the Brighter Bites season. For more ways to make the most of your produce each week, visit us online at brighterbites.org, and share your favorite ideas with friends and family.

The Power Of Parents

While our team will get your kid(s) excited at school through yummy demos and samples, you are the biggest key to cultivating a healthy lifestyle for your family. Use Brighter Bites as an opportunity to spend the best part of the day—mealtime—together!
