Today was our final Pick a Better Snack lesson of the year with Mrs. Baptista! We wanted to share a special moment from Bring a Kid to Work Day, when her son joined us and helped teach the broccoli and cauliflower lesson alongside his mom. It was a fun and memorable experience for everyone!

Fresh, vibrant, and seriously underrated. This green spear deserves more love💚. Whether it’s roasted, grilled, or tossed into a spring dish, it’s always a win!
