Week 1: Intake

We start with the truth. What do you eat when you wake up? What does your day look like? No judgment. Just honest conversation about what’s already on their plates and what they actually like.

Week 2: Label literacy

We pull store-bought juices off the shelf and read the labels together. Hidden sugars, marketing tricks, what “100% juice” actually means. Kids leave able to walk into any bodega and tell what’s real.

Week 3: Juicing demo

This is the day they remember. I bring the equipment. We make juice from scratch, taste it together, and talk about what changes when food is real. Greens, citrus, ginger, whatever’s seasonal and good.

Week 4: Application

We hand kids the tools to keep going. A habit tracker. A mini juicing guide. A build-a-juice handout. A build-a-plate handout. Everything they need to take a shift home, even if their kitchen looks nothing like the demo.

• The skill to read a label and trust their own eyes

• The experience of making and tasting real juice from scratch

• A clear way to start a habit at home, even with limited equipment

• A model of what wellness looks like outside of marketing

I lived this transformation in my own kitchen. My family lost over 100 pounds together. My daughter went from struggling with how she was treated about her body to playing on her volleyball team. She reads sugar labels in the grocery store now. That’s the kind of shift this program is built to start.

I’m not a curriculum company. I’m a mom who figured this out and is bringing it to kids before their bodies start fighting back.

• A consistent room with counter space or table space for equipment

• Access to a sink and an outlet for the juicer

• A point person on staff who can help with logistics and student communication

• Buy-in to let the kids actually taste, mess up, and try again
