Pat Molter, founder of Alive n Vibrant Superfoods, is blending nutrition with education by guiding middle schoolers at St. Marcus School in Milwaukee through the art of smoothie-making. The budding chefs are becoming pros at using blenders and crafting their own nutritious recipes—an energizing start to their school day that supports learning and focus. This trial program, launched with support from generous donors, may expand next year to offer smoothies more than once a week. Special thanks go to Pete’s Grocery Store for bananas, The Outpost for weekly spinach and fruit donations, and Costco for their contributions.
