🥤🛒 MEX Smoothie Mission 🛒🥤

This term our future smoothie scientists (aka Year 9 MEX students) headed to Woolworths on the ultimate quest: finding the perfect ingredients for their healthy smoothie creations 🍓🍌🥝

This isn’t just about fruit and flavour, it’s about learning to make healthy choices, working together, and building connections with ourselves and our community. Food has a special way of bringing people together, sharing culture, starting conversations, and helping us learn more about who we are. 💛🌏

🎯 The challenge: Research, design and make a smoothie that is tasty, healthy and budget-friendly. No pressure!!

💡 Students will be comparing:

💰 Cost

🍍 Nutrition

🍓 Flavour combos

🧠 Smart choices

Once back at school, it’s blending time! Students prepared their smoothies and explained why their ingredient choices deserve the top spot on the class menu 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 may the best blend win 🥤🏆
