Crunch&Sip® resources

Crunch&Sip® is a set break during the school day for kids to eat fruit (or salad vegetables) and drink water in the classroom. The idea is to help students ‘re-fuel’ with healthy food during either a morning or afternoon break and boost their physical and mental performance and concentration in the classroom.
