This
February the 5th grade students studied healthy desserts. In doing so, we featured a recipe from the
Champions for Change website. At Bay
View Nutrition, we frequently use Champions for Change recipes in our
classes. They are quick, fresh and healthy. The students loved the papaya
boats, especially the hints of mint. Enjoy the recipe as a midday snack or to
top of a lovely meal.
