Healthy Kids Challenge Recipe Contest for Middle Schoolers promotes healthy foods

Nourish Interactive has been partners with the Healthy Kids Challenge organization for several years.  We have the same mission to promote healthy foods to kids in a fun and positive way.  We are happy to share with you this recipe contest!  There is still time to enter!

How do you get your 7th and 8th graders interested in trying new foods? Let them experiment with healthy recipe variations so they can enter the Stirring Up Health™ Middle School Recipe Contest!

Healthy Kids Challenge and featured sponsor, Del Monte, along with educational partners, Johnson & Wales University and Home Baking Association, are excited about the 9th annual recipe contest "Stirring Up Health™".

Engage the kids you know to create or modify a recipe to make it healthier using Del Monte fruits, vegetables, or tomatoes.
