<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Masa remaja merupakan periode penting dalam pembentukan perilaku hidup sehat, termasuk kebiasaan makan. Namun, rendahnya literasi gizi, tingginya konsumsi Ultra-Processed Food (UPF), serta kebiasaan melewatkan sarapan masih menjadi permasalahan utama pada remaja sekolah menengah kejuruan. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran siswa mengenai pola makan sehat melalui program “Gerakan Smart Eating Teen”. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SMKN 1 Jambu dan SMK-SPP Dharma Lestari Salatiga dengan melibatkan 114 siswa kelas XI dan XII serta 7 guru pendamping. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi pre-test, edukasi interaktif berbasis literasi gizi, kampanye optimalisasi pangan lokal, pemberdayaan guru sebagai health monitor, sesi tanya jawab, dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan siswa yang ditunjukkan dari kenaikan rata-rata nilai pre-test sebesar 62 menjadi 88 pada post-test. Selain itu, siswa menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi dalam memahami pentingnya pemilihan makanan sehat, pembatasan konsumsi makanan tinggi gula, garam, dan lemak, serta pentingnya sarapan untuk mendukung konsentrasi belajar. Keterlibatan guru juga menjadi faktor pendukung keberhasilan program dalam mengawasi perilaku konsumsi siswa secara berkelanjutan. Program “Gerakan Smart Eating Teen” terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi gizi dan membangun kesadaran makan sehat pada remaja akhir di lingkungan sekolah.

However, low nutritional literacy, high consumption of Ultra-Processed Food (UPF), and the habit of skipping breakfast remain major problems among vocational high school students. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge and awareness of healthy eating patterns through the “Smart Eating Teen Movement” program. The program was implemented at SMKN 1 Jambu and SMK-SPP Dharma Lestari Salatiga involving 114 students from grades XI and XII and 7 accompanying teachers. The implementation methods included pre-tests, interactive nutrition literacy-based education, local food optimization campaigns, teacher empowerment as health monitors, question-and-answer sessions, and post-tests. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge, indicated by the improvement in the average pre-test score from 62 to 88 in the post-test. In addition, students demonstrated high enthusiasm in understanding the importance of healthy food choices, limiting foods high in sugar, salt, and fat, and the importance of breakfast to support learning concentration. Teacher involvement also became a supporting factor for the success of the program in continuously monitoring students’ eating behaviors. The “Smart Eating Teen Movement” program proved effective in improving nutritional literacy and building healthy eating awareness among late adolescents in the school environment.
