Energy Bar - The Healthy Choice

Supporting Schools

Energy Bar is more than just a self service system – we take a responsible approach to children's health and education.

Energy Bar supports three of the five objectives of the National Healthy Schools Programme's Healthy Living Blueprint.

Objective How Energy Bar Can Help

1. To promote a school ethos and environment which encourages a healthy lifestyle

Energy Bar's vibrant design, affordability and convenience makes healthy choices easy and appealing for children

3. To ensure the food and drink available across the school day reinforces the healthy lifestyle message

Energy Bar provides tasty food and drink products with valuable nutrients to sustain children through the day:

•  Breakfast cereals provide energy and important vitamins and minerals

•  Fruit juices, smoothies and fruit bars are a great way for children to get towards the government's recommended ‘5 a Day' servings of fruit and vegetables

•  Milk provides protein and a range of vitamins and minerals, especially calcium, which is important for healthy bones and teeth

5. To promote an understanding of the full range of issues and behaviours which impact upon lifelong health

We encourage children to get involved, and support teachers in raise awareness of healthy eating issues

We also take a responsible approach to the environment. With direct input from children, we have designed Energy Bar to use as little packaging and waste as possible.
We work in partnership with schools and help them to get the most from Energy Bar. Schools can earn revenue as well as benefiting from healthier, better focused children – a double whammy!

Making the most of Energy Bar

We've got loads of good ideas to help schools and children get the most out of Energy Bar.

As part of a Whole School Food Policy, Energy Bar can provide positive intervention for children throughout the day:

Acting as a focal point for breakfast clubs with a broad range of healthy breakfast food


Healthy snacks and drinks between meals


Supporting both school meals and packed lunches with nutritious drinks and food bars

Sustaining children's energy through after-school activities

 

Getting stuck in

Energy Bar works best when children get involved:

  • They control the product mix – we'll happily consider any stock requests (as long as they're healthy!)
  • Running Energy Bar is easy and gives a first taste of business skills
  • We provide competitions, puzzles and games to help make healthy eating fun

Sharing the rewards
