Algebra I students were given the following challenge....

Given 3 smoothie recipes that each contain some of the same ingredients, how can we use the ingredients to make the most smoothies if we make at least one type of each smoothie?

After all of their hard work to solve this challenge, students were given a sweet reward today, as they got a chance to make the smoothies!
