To protect children's futures, we need to ensure we're promoting sustainable eating habits that support their health, and the health of our fragile planet. 💚🌱🌎 Through our pioneering School Plates programme, we’re working with 25% of local authorities responsible for school food, feeding over a million children every day. That’s a million children who are accessing high-quality, sustainable and nutritious meals. 💪 But don't just take our word for it.

We all know that whole plant-based foods are fantastic for our health. 💚 In fact, all plants are superheroes! 💪 They’re packed full of nutrients and fibre, are lower in fat and calories than animal-based products, and they lower the risk of chronic diseases. Our School Plates recipes are packed full of nutrition, matching meat-based dishes in terms of protein content, are lower in saturated fat, and contain more fibre and nutrients to keep children healthy, happy and better able to concentrate at school. 🌱 Get access to 70 FREE plant-based recipes designed especially for school children by visiting our website. ⬇️ https://hubs.ly/Q02FmtJk0
