Nutrition Education Continues to Be A Priority for BHS Students
April 15, 2024
Kayla Hinrichs from UNL Extension continued her nutrition lessons at Burwell Jr. Sr. High School with broccoli and sugar on the menu. Students taste tested fresh, raw broccoli and then learned about the different names for sugar, how much sugar is in a variety of drinks, and better choices to avoid sugary drinks. Students then made their own infused water with fresh lemon, lime, and oranges as a healthy drink choice. In addition Kayal gave the students a new recipe for mac-n-cheese with broccoli and the white beans they learned about in our first session. Students then taste tested their water infused drink and the mac-n-cheese. Both got a thumbs up and something all the students thought they could make at home.
