The more often kids eat healthy foods, the more likely they are to develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Go!Healthy launched Go!Healthy Meals in 2007 as an innovative food service program for children that provides scratch-made meals that feature whole, unprocessed foods and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Delicious and nutritious

Go!Healthy Meals is a critical source of nutrition for children in our center-based early childhood classrooms, who consume as much as 80 percent of their daily calories while in our care. Youth in our center-based after-school programming also depend on our healthy meals, which are delicious, nutritious, and inspired by the many cultures found throughout the Children’s Aid community. 

Our recipes feature seasonal, fresh produce; emphasize whole grains; eliminate highly processed foods; and encourage a variety of protein sources. All recipes exceed USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Nutrition Standards and NYC Food Standards. 

Go!Healthy also provides regular professional development trainings for Children’s Aid food service staff, which are designed to impart the knowledge and skills to prepare our healthy recipes and to ensure compliance with federal and city mandates.
