My Project

We would greatly appreciate your help in providing our girls basketball program, (9th-12th), two Vitamix A3500 smoothie machines. These machines will insure that our student-athletes succeed in a nutrient-dense, customizable, and convenient food source that can enhance both their overall well-being and physical performance, making it a valuable tool to improve their nutrition and athleticism.

Nutrition plays a major role in cognitive function.

Including ingredients like leafy greens, berries, and omega-3-rich foods in smoothies will help improve focus and mental clarity, which is just as important for student athletes as physical performance. Smoothies allow student athletes to successfully pack a variety of essential nutrients like fruits, vegetables, protein, healthy fats, and fiber into a single, quick, and mobile pre-game or post-game meal. This will ensure they are receiving the vitamins and minerals required to energize their bodies and recover effectively.

Smoothies include hydrating ingredients such as coconut water or fresh fruits with high water content (e.g., melons, oranges), which will help student-athletes maintain correct hydration levels before, during, and after practice or a game. After intense training, student-athletes need to refuel. Our smoothies will consist of ingredients like protein powder, Greek yogurt, or even collagen to help muscle repair and recovery. Ingredients like turmeric or ginger can also be added to reduce inflammation and speed up the recovery process.

Smoothie machines, allow student-athletes to personalized smoothies to their specific nutritional needs. Some may require more protein for muscle recovery, antioxidants for immune support, or carbs for energy. These machines offer the flexibility to blend any ingredients for their training program. Blended smoothies are easier to digest, helping the body to absorb nutrients rapidly. This is especially helpful when athletes are participating in more than one game a week and need a quick way to get the nutrients needed without feeling weighed down.
