Healthy smoothies – made with fruit, yogurt and milk or, for those with food allergies, non-dairy products – have landed on the menu at the Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School in Surf City and the Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. On Monday, March 27, all students were able to sample a smoothie, and starting the following day, the delicious drinks were among the options for school lunch.

The consensus among the schoolchildren? Overwhelmingly thumbs up.
