🎉 Taste Test Triumph at Eastside High! 🎉

Last week, we had the pleasure of joining Alachua County Schools for an exhilarating student taste-testing event at Eastside High—and what a flavorful adventure it was! Students sampled a trio of delightful Tasty Brands breakfast options:​

🥖 Whole Grain Vanillaboli- a perfect combination of a whole grain, soft, flaky crust, and a smooth, creamy crème filling.
🍳 Egg & Cheese Filled Whole Grain Biscuit- a flaky biscuit that is stuffed with fluffy scrambled eggs and gooey melted cheese.
🥯 Whole Grain Bagel Dots​ with Cream Cheese- these dots have soft, chewy exterior with a warm, gooey center bursting with rich cream cheese goodness. Generously stuffed with velvety cream cheese, they are the perfect grab-and-go option for busy mornings.

To complement these tasty breakfast offerings, students sipped on Tasty Brands' new Perk Cold Brew Coffee Flavored Milk—a refreshing twist on traditional milk that's quickly becoming a favorite.​

The verdict? The students were buzzing with excitement—and it wasn't due to the Perk Cold Brew Coffee Milk, which is completely caffeine-free! They couldn't get enough and were eager to take some home. It's moments like these that make our work so rewarding—seeing students excited about nutritious and delicious food options.​

A big shoutout to Eastside High and Alachua County School Meals-Your Choice Fresh for their commitment to innovative and student-approved meals!
