Nutrition Inspiration
We call it our…
Nutrition Intuition
In 1987, Registered Dietitian Karen Fynan built a company based
on the principles of Nutrition & Service naming her company Nutri-Serve
Food Management to reflect these beliefs. Nutrition has always been at
the forefront of menu planning with the goal of creating a serving line that
teaches our customers about healthy meals. We believe our exponential
growth to 83 districts over the last 25+ years is a result of our
commitment to serve tasty and healthy meals to our customers.
Nutri-Serve’s Corporate Dietitian, Kristen Mueller, RD, works
collaboratively with our leadership team to plan our monthly menus and
provides nutrition support and education to students, athletes & staff.

Our nutrition education involves the healthy marketing of our serving line.
Balloons for a To teach the concept of balance to our elementary-aged customers we use the concept
Balanced
Lunch
of Balloons for a Balanced Lunch. Each balloon represents a different food group.
Blue is milk, Red is fruits, Green is vegetables, Yellow is grain, Purple is protein.
A lunch tray with every color balloon is a healthy one!
