Today’s students are more health-conscious than ever, and they expect school meals that are both delicious and nourishing. Schools nationwide are finding that Vitamix Commercial blenders make it simple to create healthy, whole-food menu options that kids actually love—while streamlining kitchen operations and reducing food waste.
Why Schools Are Turning to Smoothies and Beyond
Smoothies, smoothie bowls, and blended snacks are more than just trends—they’re effective tools for increasing student participation in meal programs. With Vitamix Commercial equipment, schools can:
1. Support USDA Compliance
Smoothies made with milk, yogurt, fruits, or vegetables can count toward reimbursable school meals under USDA guidelines. That means you can serve smoothies with confidence, knowing they align with federal nutrition requirements.
2. Serve Large Batches Efficiently
From breakfast to grab-and-go snacks, Vitamix Commercial blenders can produce smoothies, sauces, and bowls in volume—helping schools meet demand quickly and consistently. The Vitamix XL®, for example, can blend up to 24 servings at once, making it ideal for high-volume school kitchens.
3. Boost Student Participation
Kids love smoothies. They’re fun, customizable, and in line with current food trends. By offering smoothies and bowls, schools can encourage more students to choose healthy options—and increase participation in nutrition programs.
4. Reduce Waste & Costs
Overripe fruits and vegetables don’t have to be thrown away. With a Vitamix Commercial blender, they can be transformed into smoothies, sauces, or dips, reducing food waste and helping schools save money.
A Michigan School’s Success Story
