The Snack Bag Program provides student athletes with non-perishable food items and recipes to encourage positive nutrition behaviors and culinary creativity within their homes. On Monday of each week, athletes pick up their Snack Bags, which contain ingredients to prepare accompanying recipes. Through this program, we hope to inspire athletes with meal and snack ideas, to help them incorporate nourishing foods that support their health and performance and to help them build confidence in the kitchen.

“With a crazy schedule due to being a student-athlete, it’s hard to spice it up in the kitchen. The weekly Snack Bag makes it a lot simpler to ensure that I have the ability to make more rounded meals that taste great and fuel my body with what it needs.”
Travis Brewster, Oregon Track & Field
“The Snack bags were very beneficial to me. It really cut down on the cost of groceries and provided many new and delicious recipes that I still use to this day. I already knew how to cook but if you don’t the snack bags and their recipes are a good way to learn.”
Nate Heaukulani, Oregon Football
“What I enjoy the most about the Snack bag is the versatility; whether you choose to try out the suggested recipes or do your own, you’ll end up with a wholesome meal. Also, because of the different themes of the snack bags, you get to try ingredients that you wouldn’t have bought otherwise. My favorite things to get are coconut oil and coconut flakes, and two things that I wouldn’t have used before but now I love to use are fresh parsley and celery.”
Carmela Cardama Baez, Oregon Cross Country, Track
“I love the snack bag program because it provides us with endless ideas for quick and easy recipes. These are perfect for when I am always on the go and want to make a balanced dinner without it taking too much time! Receiving different staples foods and ingredients each week allows me to have different options for what I want to make so when I go to the grocery I can just pick up the rest of the items I need. I am so thankful for the food we get provided, it makes it a lot easier to fuel my body in the right way!”
