Organise a British Food Fortnight healthy eating competition for all the schools in your borough!

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham ran a borough-wide competition during British Food Fortnight challenging primary schools to come up with recipes for fruit and vegetable smoothie drinks.  17 primary schools took part in the Smoothiethon.

Councillor David Williams said:
“This was a fun way for children to learn about healthy eating and the variety of fruit and vegetables.”

Sandra Martin, learning mentor at Wormholt Park Primary School said:
“We tried out lots of different smoothie recipes over the two weeks.  The children preferred the fruit to the vegetables though a lot of them were surprised how good the vegetables drinks tasted.”
