We introduced lower-added-sugar, higher-protein grab-and-go breakfasts from Smart Swaps. With thoughtful service flow adjustments, the transition was smooth and worked well for students. We found that sampling new items and serving them multiple times really helped students accept change. Smoothies and overnight oats were a big win for us because they were easy to produce, met our nutrition goals and worked perfectly as grab-and-go options.
