Nurturing Future Leaders Through Nutrition: Steve Harvey Foundation Partners With Pancakes From Scratch to Bring Plant-Based Eating to Kids
ATLANTA (PRWEB) June 20, 2023 -- Children with healthier diets perform better in school and are less likely to develop chronic diseases later in life, according to the American Heart Association. However, 67% (two-thirds) of calories consumed by children and adolescents come from ultra-processed foods (JAMA 2021 Study). As a result, Steve Harvey partnered with Pancakes From Scratch, a leading vegan breakfast and baking company, to bring vegan, plant-based food to Steve Harvey Foundation’s annual mentorship camp for boys aged 14 to 18.
The mentorship program is held annually on Father's Day weekend and aims to foster the development and empowerment of young men from single-mother households. During the camp, Pancakes From Scratch introduced the young men to the exciting world of healthy eating, demonstrating that nutritious food can also be delicious.
Pancakes From Scratch showcased its innovative culinary creations, including its world famous Vegan Chicken and Waffles, where mushrooms marinated and coated with Pancakes From Scratch's Vegan Frying Mix served as a surprisingly tasty alternative to chicken. The boys were amazed by the flavor profile of this plant-based alternative, showing them that healthier choices don't need to compromise on taste.
"We're thrilled to partner with The Steve Harvey Foundation for this impactful initiative," said Brian Lee, founder of Pancakes From Scratch. "It's crucial to introduce healthy eating habits at a young age, and we're honored to play a role in this journey for these young men. It was truly an eye-opening experience for the boys and many walked away from the camp understanding that eating healthy doesn't always have to be a chore or a compromise on taste."
The partnership between Steve Harvey Foundation and Pancakes From Scratch aligns with Pancakes From Scratch's mission to promote healthier lifestyles through delicious, plant-based foods and its vision to inspire a world where plant-based eating is the norm. Lee said that “realizing our vision is going to start with the kids.” The event also highlighted Pancakes From Scratch’s commitment to community engagement and transforming perceptions around healthy eating.
The Pancakes From Scratch team received amazing feedback from both the campers and the foundation and are in talks with Steve Harvey’s team to do more collaborations in the future. The Pancakes From Scratch team is optimistic that their efforts will foster a ripple effect in their communities, encouraging more families to embrace nutritious, plant-based diets.
