American Egg Board

A fun, new way to meet school nutrition guidelines

Which would you rather serve: fun, on-trend food with kicky flavors, or a nutritious meal that meets federal guidelines? Good news – do both! Take a protein-enriched hard-boiled egg, insert a stick, and dust with savory spices. Or let your kids do their own dipping in spicy or herbed sauces. Offer for breakfast, grab & go snacks or pair with fruit and whole grains for lunch. These ideas come from American Egg Board, but the smiles you get will be all yours!
