It’s Monday morning; your eyes pop open realizing you slept through your alarm which means you and the kids will be late!

You’re pushing everyone out the door, and thank goodness last night you made Dole’s Breakfast Banana Pudding with Pistachio Crumble to grab as you head out the door!
One of the reasons we confidently choose Dole is because of their on-going commitment to programs that are children-focused. They are a leader in technology-based food education programs for kids, emphasizing the importance of 5-13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. They’ve installed the McGovern-Dole Program to create Food for Education and Child Nutrition Programs that support education and food security in low-income countries around the world! You can feel good knowing Dole is working towards a better future for all children.
Dole is also known for being environmentally aware in each of their farms throughout the world. Through water recycling systems, Dole’s irrigation is both responsible and efficient. They stay conscious from beginning to end; they carefully select the type of soil the bananas are planted in, keep track of the amount of greenhouse gasses they emit as well as concentrate packaging waste all while keeping the consumer in mind.
