Small Bites Adventure Club shares the joy of trying new foods and nutrition through classroom cooking activities

Three children holding fresh vegetables and fruits, smiling at the camera, in a kitchen setting.

Monthly hands-on cooking resources provide children with tools to explore, prepare, and try fruit and vegetable snacks!

Nine out of 10 children in the U.S. don't eat the recommended amount of vegetables.

And, some children sometimes go days without eating a single vegetable.

But it doesn’t have to be that way!

When children have the opportunity to prepare and taste fruits and vegetables β€”  they will not only like them, they will love them! 

We believe that teaching kids about fruits and vegetables is not just about health β€” it’s about discovering food in all its wonder: how it’s grown, what it looks and smells like, and how to prepare a simple recipe.
