Did you know some fats are actually good for you? 🥑🌰 Healthy fats—like those in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil—help your brain think, your heart stay strong, and your body grow. ⁠
⁠
Try adding sliced avocado to sandwiches, sprinkling sunflower seeds on salads, or snacking on a small handful of almonds. Healthy fats make meals delicious and nutritious! 💛

🍊✨ Impact Story Spotlight ✨🍊⁠
⁠
During a recent teacher orientation, a 1st grade teacher shared how much she loves our program! Last year, she did a fun Produce Activity and introduced the kids to grapefruit. Some of the kids knew all about it, but others were totally blown away by how big it was, thinking it was an “orange.” 🍊😲⁠
⁠
The teacher thought it was adorable to see their reactions! She explained that it wasn’t actually an orange and gave them the chance to taste the grapefruit for themselves. 💛⁠
⁠
She also mentioned that Brighter Bites helped her stay healthy and accountable for the produce she received last school year—and she’s so excited to have the program back for a 2nd year! 🌟
