BrainBites® reflects the Ivy Kids commitment to caring for the whole child. By making fresh, balanced meals part of the school day, the program supports healthy development, learning, and positive eating habits.
Balanced nutrition plays an important role in children’s growth and development.
The program also limits processed foods, added sugars, solid fats, and high-sodium ingredients.
Each Ivy Kids center features an on-site, culinary-certified chef who prepares two meals and two snacks daily. Fresh fruit is a focus for snacks, while lunches are built around vegetables and proteins, with produce cut in-house.
Meals contain no food dyes, are prepared in a nut-free kitchen, and can accommodate most allergies, dietary restrictions, and preferences.
BrainBites® introduces children to a variety of kid-friendly foods and flavors while encouraging healthy habits. Meals follow CACFP standards, Texas Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Regulations, and MyPlate guidelines.
