Fresh Ingredients

Meeting your child’s nutritional needs is at the forefront of what we do here at My Kid’s Chef. We take pride in using only the freshest, most nutritious ingredients available. We receive a daily shipment of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and use only hormone-free milk. Our fresh produce is delivered daily just in time for meal prep. All of our ingredients are rated by our dietitian, and we only purchase ingredients from reputable USDA approved suppliers. We follow all of the USDA and nutritional guidelines for every meal we serve. Rest assured, the safety and nutritional well-being of your children is of the utmost importance to us. |
Innovative & Sustainable Approach Idea
School vegetable gardens are a great way for children to learn about where their food comes from and to get them excited about eating fresh vegetables. Whether its basil, tomato, cilantro or cucumber, it can be harvested and incorporated into their daily lunches. It’s also a great chance to learn about sustainable gardening! Learning where your food comes from makes for a longstanding healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to overall improve school food by offering nutritious and appealing meals, create an inviting ambiance that encourages healthy eating and supports sustainability by encouraging composting and onsite gardening.

All our meals come with a choice of one (1): milk, water or lemonade, choice of one (1): Chef’s Special, Salad Creations, Pasta Bar or Triple Decker Grilled Cheese option, and one (1) choice from the fresh bar (whole fruit, fruit cup, Parfait or Jell-O).
