POSITIONING PLANT-POWERED MEALS Shifts to showcase plant-powered options and increase student uptake
Show off the delicious plant-powered option with an appealing presentation. Highlight the exciting flavors & textures of plant-powered meals, emphasizing what they offer rather than what they don’t include. Prepare foods in small, manageable bites that encourage students to taste and enjoy them. Pre-slice fruits and vegetables reduce waste and increase consumption, especially during short lunch periods. Use positive, encouraging language to help students feel excited about trying plant-powered options. Make plant-powered options easy to find by placing them at the beginning of the lunch line. Consider offering milk at the end of the lunch line to minimize waste.
