AVI emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean meats, while limiting sodium, unhealthy fats and added sugar.

AVI's full- and part-time employees prepare an average 371,000 meals each year throughout the District's school buildings. Using input from student surveys and everyday lunchroom conversations, the skilled AVI chefs and dietitians design the school menus with a wide variety of healthy food options and bold flavors.
