Each 5.2 oz serving offers a full 1 M/MA, ½ cup fruit, and ½ cup dark green vegetable — helping you meet Smart Snack and USDA requirements in one colorful scoop .

MVP Ingredient Spotlight

When it comes to our Southeast Broccoli Salad, Zee Zees Bulk Honey Cran Trail Mix is the true game changer. Broccoli slaw on its own may not be a kid favorite. But add in crunchy honey roasted sunflower kernels, chewy cranberries, and just the right hint of sweetness, and suddenly those veggies become a dish students cannot wait to dig into.

Instead of broccoli being the item left behind on the tray, this salad turns into a participation magnet with flavor, crunch, and fun in every bite. Plus, Zee Zees Bulk Honey Cran Trail Mix makes menu planning simple — 1 M/MA and ½ cup fruit per serving, shelf-stable for 12 months, nut-free, and packed with student appeal.

In short, Zee Zees Honey Cran Trail Mix takes broccoli from “blah” to “bring it on.”
