ABOUT US

A SOCIAL INNOVATION THAT AIMS TO PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS ALTERNATIVES TO UNDERSERVED AREAS.

The mission of Smoothies 4 Students is to provide nutrition education and healthy food options to students in marginalized communities and schools. We aim to navigate beyond institutional obstacles such as food apartheid, and combat diet-related illnesses while building healthier generational habits.

OUR FOUNDER

Beginning in 2017 as a remedy for hungry students in a frustrated math teacher’s classroom, Smoothies 4 Students has grown to be the premier provider of healthy, affordable breakfast smoothies in South Florida. To reach that, we partnered with over 10 community organizations, and have served over 3,000 children with the help of over 100 volunteers from across the country .

"As a teacher, I noticed many of my students in the classroom lacked focus, energy and ability to critically problem solve.
Then one day, it clicked - they were hungry.

I was sick and tired of my students being sick and tired.

We have to be the generation that ends food insecurity for our youth. "

- Mr. Caesar, Teacher

CRAVING A CHANGE

Action, community, and sustainability are the core of our organization. Food is arguably the most basic human need, and we recognize the role nutrition plays in every aspect of life. We also notice the danger of a predatory retail food industry which has amassed billions based on selling to under informed consumers.
