Building Kid-Approved & Nutritious Menus | Peanut Butter Toast Bar

Feeding thousands of kids every day is no easy task—but school nutrition professionals are up for the challenge! In this video, Chef Aaron Smith, Director of Culinary Services for Seattle Public Schools, shares his creative Peanut Butter Toast Bar concept: a fun, customizable option designed to keep students excited about school meals.

He’s joined by Angela Gomez, RDN, SNS, who specializes in making meals both nutritious and kid-approved. Angela also explains how schools can safely manage meal modifications and communicate clearly about peanut allergies.

Together, they build peanut butter toast with a lineup of tasty toppings—bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips, and even bold choices like sriracha and marmalade—for kids who like to spice things up.
