Sabrina Bryan, a member of the multi-platinum recording act The Cheetah Girls as well as star of the highly successful Disney movie series of the same name, is partnering with Mission Foods in the fight against childhood obesity. With today’s busy families finding fewer free moments to prepare nutritious home-cooked meals, Sabrina and Mission Foods have teamed up to show teenagers and their moms how to make quick, easy and nutritious meals using one of the most versatile items in their kitchen pantries, tortillas.

“Students these days are bombarded with lots of unhealthy choices,” explains Bryan. “That’s what attracted me to partnering with Mission Foods. We’re both committed to providing the resources and nutritional elements for a healthy lifestyle. And at missionmenus.com there are tons of great tasting, easy and nutritious tortillas recipes that kids of all ages can enjoy.”

The pop star is also the national spokesperson for Healthy Kids Challenge (HKC), a non-profit organization which promotes healthy eating and lifestyle to school-aged children all over the US. This fall, Healthy Kids Challenge introduces its first large-scale national event, “Healthy Kids Dance for Health,” sponsored by Mission Foods. It’s an initiative and fundraising campaign to promote staying fit using dance. As many as 2200 schools in 200 cities are expected to participate. Events that raise the most money will be eligible to win great prizes, with a grand prize that includes a personal appearance and dance lessons from Sabrina Bryan.

“Obesity tends to persist through life,” says Vickie James, a registered dietician and founder of the Healthy Kids Challenge. “Our mission is to help all kids, regardless of weight, have more opportunities and develop healthy habits with eating and physical activity.”
