Belém introduces healthy hamburgers and milkshakes to school menus

Municipal schools in Belém are introducing new healthy menu items, including hamburgers and milkshakes, developed by nutritionists from the National School Feeding Program (PNAE).

The healthy hamburger will be made using lean ground beef (patinho), lettuce, and tomato. The milkshake recipe consists of whole milk, frozen banana, and beet. These additions aim to expand student meal options while maintaining strict nutritional standards.

The new menu items will be presented during the inauguration of the Maria Amoras Municipal School in the Benguí neighborhood, a facility that recently underwent extensive renovations including the addition of solar energy and specialized educational rooms.
