Helping students get a good start to the day will be East Side Entrées' (Woodbury, N.Y.) ready-to-eat Breakfast Breaks, which will be served in cafeterias, classrooms and even on school buses. These boxed meals will include a cereal bowl pack, an additional bread/grain snack serving, and a serving of 100% fruit juice. When served with milk, East Side assures the meal provides a complete, nutritious breakfast meeting the government requirements for key nutrients for children.
As an example, one of the box menus includes General Mills (Minneapolis) Honey Nut Cheerios, animal crackers and Mott's (Rye Brook, N.J.) Apple Juice. As an East Side spokesperson explains, the meal requires no preparation: the foodservice staff need only to hand each student the Breakfast Break box and a carton of milk.
