In health class at Sanford Pride Elementary, the students made smoothies with the blender bike. This is a bike lent to us from a community engagement initiative called Let's Go 5-2-1-0 which works with schools and communities to create environments that support healthy behaviors. The use of the blender bike aligns with our nutrition and physical activity unit in health class, which explores food groups, identifying healthy foods and snacks, and the benefits of physical activity.
