Founded by two moms on a mission to create the next generation of healthy eaters, Revolution Foods is uniquely positioned to understand what kids want – it is the only K-12 school meals provider serving fresh, all natural meals to students across the country, that also has a line of healthy meal solutions available in grocery. The company created In a Cup with custom recipes based on the insights gleaned from serving 1.5 million school meals to across the country each week.

"Kids love noodles - they are consistently in the most popular meals across our school menus - but we realized there was a void in the category when it came to convenient on-the-go options," said Kristin Groos Richmond, CEO and co-founder of Revolution Foods. "In a Cup was hand-crafted by our chefs to give families a nutritious, delicious, clean label noodle meal that they can easily pack for lunch and feel good about."

Available across more than 400 Target stores as well as in Safeway, Albertsons and HEB starting in August, In a Cup offers:

• Kid Favorite Flavors: In a Cup is available in three delicious flavors – Spaghetti Marinara, Sesame Noodles and Thai-Style Satay Rice Noodles (gluten free and peanut free) – ensuring there's something for everyone.
• Ultimate Convenience: Designed to be enjoyed on-the-go, In a Cup does not require added water and can be enjoyed hot or cold. It even comes with a spork, making it easy to eat anytime, anywhere. For those who prefer noodles warmed, the cup is BPA free and microwave-safe.
• Nutritional Value: In a Cup includes real vegetables, offers 8 to 10 grams of protein per serving, and 12 to 20 percent of daily fiber values.
• Clean Ingredients: No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.

As with all Revolution Foods products, one percent of retail sales will be donated back to schools through the company's "Feeding Good Fund" which provides grants to schools who need equipment to serve freshly prepared meals to their students.

"Three years ago we created our retail product line in response to feedback from parents and teachers about the need for healthy, convenient meals and snacks that could keep students and families nourished throughout the day," said Kirsten Saenz Tobey, co-founder and chief impact officer at Revolution Foods. "We are deeply committed to finding innovative ways to satisfy the growing demand for healthy meal solutions. In a Cup is disrupting a tired category and is a step forward in our goal of fueling today's families with the nutrition they need to excel tomorrow."
