🌈 Keep Riding the Wellness Wave This August! 🌊🌿 
 
Happy National Wellness Month, Rainbow Chefs! ❤️ 
 
August may already be flying by, but there’s still plenty of time to celebrate wellness... and build healthy habits that can last far beyond this month. 
 
Wellness isn’t about being perfect.  
 
It’s about making small, positive choices each day that help us feel our best.  
 
Here are 5 ways to keep the wellness momentum going: 
 
🌈 Rainbow Wellness Challenge: Add more color to your plate! Challenge your family to try different fruits and vegetables throughout the rest of August. How many colors of the rainbow can you eat? 
 
🧘‍♀️ Mindful Cooking & Eating: Slow down and enjoy the experience. Cook together, put away the distractions, savor each bite, and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues. 
 
🌱 Grow Your Own Wellness: Get your hands dirty! Plant some herbs, fruits, or vegetables and discover how rewarding it can be to grow your own food. 
 
🤸‍♂️ Move Together: Wellness includes movement, too! Try family yoga, take a walk, dance in the kitchen, or simply find a fun way to get moving together. 
 
💖 Practice Kindness: Wellness is about more than what we eat or how we move. Helping a neighbor, encouraging a friend, or doing something kind for someone else can nourish our whole community. 
 
✨ And remember: wellness doesn’t end when August does. The best habits are the ones we continue... one colorful meal, one mindful moment, and one healthy choice at a time. 
 
EDUCATE. EMPOWER. EAT. 🌈❤️

A message from our Founder & CEO, Svetlana Elgart:

🌈 I'm truly honored and humbled to share that I've been named one of the Top 10 Inspiring Women Leaders to Watch in 2026!

This recognition comes at a meaningful moment as we continue building Rainbow Chefs Academy — a mission born in my own kitchen as a mom of three who saw too many children struggling with healthy eating.

Today, we're delivering hands-on nutrition, wellness, and cooking education directly in K-12 schools across California and beyond, empowering the next generation to prevent childhood obesity, build lifelong healthy habits, and thrive.

From my journey as a Ukrainian-American immigrant to growing our impact (with 9x revenue growth in recent years and strong partnerships like our latest with ICA Fund), this work has always been about one thing: giving every child the knowledge and confidence to cook, eat, and live healthier.

None of this would be possible without INCREDIBLE educators, the dedicated schools and families we serve, our supporters, and the children who light up when they discover the joy of real food.

And of course our AMAZING Rainbow Chefs Academy TEAM.

Thank you all — this recognition belongs to each and every one of us.
