Alisal Union School District Student and Parent Food Show

Sept. 28th HELP was invited to participate with the Alisal Union School District Student and Parent Food Show.

Chef Adrienne presented cookies made from MANN Broccoli Slaw and Pat and Ron,  HELP’s early childhood nutrition educators, presented healthy alternative snacks.
Over 250 people attended.

Apple Snack

Hey kids,

Here is a nutritious and delicious snack that is fun to make.

Wash your apple and core it.

Slice it in rounds.

Spread peanut butter, soy butter, almond butter or sun butter on your apple slice.

Take sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds and press the apple face down in to the seeds.

The peanut butter will make the seeds stick to the apple.

Eat and enjoy.

This is a yummy and nutritious snack idea that Chef Todd Fisher shared with the staff at HELP.
