Success StoryVeggie Pizzas



Veggie Pizzas

Author: Kati Noble

Planning Unit: Breathitt County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

According to the National CACFP Sponsors Association, only 10% of youth eat the daily recommended amount of vegetables. One way to get youth to eat more vegetables is by introducing fun ways to incorporate them into their diet.

To introduce more vegetables, the Breathitt County Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior, in partnership with Highland Turner Elementary School, taught LEAP (Literacy, Eating, and Activity for Primary) curriculum to a 1st grade class. During one visit, students learned how to prepare their own healthy snack, learned the importance of eating a variety of vegetables every day, what cheese is made of, and how pizza crust is made. 100% of students indicated that they would make pizzas at home using the recipe that was provided during the lesson. One student stated, “I’ve never made my own pizza, this is so cool!”
