The same crisp Granny Smith apples that are in Amy's popular Apple Pie and Country dinner. Perfect for dessert. Non-dairy/low fat.
Strawberry Toaster Pops
Lightly sweetened juicy California strawberries. Great after school snack. Non-dairy/low fat.
Breakfast Scramble Wrap
What a great way to start the day! This savory combination of tofu, cheese and vegetables is seasoned to perfection in an organic flour tortilla.
Cream of Rice Hot Cereal Bowl
When Amy was a baby she was very particular about what solid foods she would eat. However, there was a brand of cream of rice that Amy truly liked. There was just one problem-it was not organic. Now, 20 years later, Amy’s has created a gluten free cream of rice cereal made from organic brown rice.
Mexican Tofu Scramble
Organic tofu scrambled with vegetables and topped with salsa and grated cheddar cheese covers a mini organic tortilla with refried black beans on the side.
Multi-Grain Hot Cereal Bowl
Every new day deserves a healthy beginning. Amy's Multi-Grain Hot Cereal Bowl is a delicious and satisfying way to supply your body with the nutrition it needs. This bowl is a blend of eight organic whole grains carefully selected to provide you with a nutritious breakfast that's low in fat. Amy's slow cooking has brought out a wonderful blend of textures while maintaining the smoothness we all love in a hot cereal. So just heat up a tasty bowl of Amy's Multi-Grain Hot Cereal and reap the benefits.
Rolled Oats Hot Cereal Bowl
Amy's oatmeal is cooked to perfection to create that familiar blend of textures: smooth and creamy with just enough definition. Amy's oatmeal is much more than mere comfort food; it is high in fiber, a good source of iron, with no cholesterol.
Steel-Cut Oats Hot Cereal Bowl
Steel-cut oats do not go through the steps of being steamed, rolled, and toasted and therefore retain more of the nutrients, flavor and texture of the whole oat grain. Steel-cut oats take over half an hour to cook on the stovetop but you can heat an Amy's Steel-Cut Oats Hot Cereal Bowl in only minutes.
Tofu Scramble
Generous portions of tofu scrambled with organic vegetables with hash browned potatoes on the side make up this delicious meal.
Breakfast Still Most Important Meal by
John Vogel | October 24, 2007
Mom always said that getting a good breakfast "under my belt" was
the best way to start off the day. And today, even local schools are learning
that a breakfast a day keeps boredom at bay.
To promote the important link between breakfast and learning, the National
Dairy Council launched an Expanding Breakfast Award program to call attention
to the important of alternative school breakfast options. The program is funded
in part by the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and local dairy farmers.
Offering breakfast outside of the cafeteria increases participation by providing
service for students who arrive late or who prefer to socialize rather than
eating in the cafeteria. It also helps to remove the potential social stigma
that the program is meant for low-income students.
Why they're Expanding Breakfast winners
First place and a $5,000 grant was awarded to Camp Curtin Elementary School
of Harrisburg, Pa. "Since we introduced Breakfast in the Classroom, school
breakfast participation has more than doubled," says David Lloyd, director
of food services.
"Teachers are finding students are more attentive, better behaved and
are ready to learn." Tardiness dropped 57%; absenteeism declined 36%.
There are fewer visits to the school nurse before lunch by students with hunger-related
headaches and stomach aches.
Daily offerings include lowfat and fat-free white milk, whole grain muffins
and cereals, fresh fruits and 100% fruit juices. The district plans to use
the grant to purchase portable milk coolers and carts to transport the insulated
breakfast bags used to keep foods ice cold as they're distributed throughout
the school.
Grab 'N Go breakfast service at the Camelot Café earned Loyalsock Senior
High in Williamsport second place and a $2,000 grant. The Camelot is a gathering
place for the entire school community. Foodservice Director Beth Hufnagel says
students and faculty can enjoy lowfat milk, milk-based hot chocolate, 100%
juice, whole grain cereals, cereal bars, bagels, granola bars, fresh fruit,
yogurt, yogurt parfaits and breakfast sandwiches around stand-up tables. The
district plans to use the grant to expand the Grab 'N Go breakfast program
at the middle school level.
Third place went to McGuffey High School in Claysville, where students can
purchase breakfast at five kiosks throughout the school and eat it in their
homerooms. A hot food, like a breakfast pizza or a sandwich, is available each
morning plus lowfat and fat-free milk, fresh fruit, 100% fruit juices, cereal
bars and breakfast pastries. Nearly 25% of students participate in the Grab
'N Go breakfast program.
"The benefits children receive from eating a nutritious breakfast are
well-documented," confirms Janette Carpentier, vice president of school
marketing for Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. "Eating breakfast yields
better student test scores, increases concentration and attendance and decreases
disciplinary problems."
CONSUMER NOTE: We have renamed the Tofu Rancheros to the Mexican Tofu Scramble. This is still the same great product, but with a new name.
