I know, right? No wonder the first lady is making healthy eating a huge initiative!

School Nutrition Association's Annual National Conference - Denver 2012

July 15-17 I was able to attend the School Nutrition Association's National Conference in Denver. I learned SO much: The USDA's new nutritional guidelines for the school lunch program, how brands are connecting with schools, how menus are formulated and more. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Recipes the Barilla chefs have developed for school lunch programs - Many brands are working to develop low-cost recipes for schools that meet the new nutrition standards

Pillsbury grab-and-go pouches for school breakfasts.  I sampled the mini waffles, and they're delicious!  The syrup is baked right in.  Plus, they all meet nutrition guidelines.

At the Jennie-O booth:  Turkey sold to school this year will have less sodium in order to meet the new USDA guidelines

This Goldfish bread is a proven winner with both kids and school nutrition.  It's whole grain, and counts as only one bread serving (school nutritionists must adhere to bread serving limits at school).

Campbell's soup bars - soups formulated for use in school have less sodium than their commercial counterparts

Pizza cutting techniques/tools - Slicing in strips is popular because it mimics what kids get at restaurants, as well as helps schools adhere to grain limits

My tour guide, Mary Anderson, was so helpful in answering all my questions about school lunch programs.  She is the district director in the Wayzata (MN) school district.

My school lunch never looked this good!  More and more schools are serving up Asian foods in schools, especially orange chicken which is popular with kids.

Purees added to recipes help boost their nutritional value (school dietitians use some of the same tricks moms do!)

Kids are much more apt to eat fruit that is pre-sliced.  I saw lots and lots of food like this:  orange wedges, apple slices, grapes, etc. all in cute little bags.

If it looks like junk food, it's not!  These pizza bites are whole grain, baked (not fried), and low in sodium.  Plus, they tasted great!

Chobani booth - Smoothies with yogurt count as a protein serving and are low in fat.  My favorite smoothie they had was one that tasted like drinking a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  Vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter flavors all combined.  YUM!

Lentil chips?  Who knew!

Pizza is by far the most popular menu option at schools.  However, it's not the pizza you serve at home.  This Domino's graphic helps demonstrate that.
