Balanced nutrition is essential for school-aged children as it directly affects health, immunity, energy levels, and learning concentration. However, many students still have irregular eating patterns and pay little attention to the quality of their daily nutritional intake. This issue becomes more relevant during Ramadan, when eating patterns and meal timing change due to fasting. Inadequate nutritional intake during suhoor and iftar can lead to fatigue, decreased stamina, and reduced learning focus. Milk and dates are natural food ingredients with high nutritional value and have the potential to be developed into practical functional beverages.The Healthy and Energetic During Fasting program aims to improve students’ knowledge at An Namiroh School regarding the importance of balanced nutrition during Ramadan and to introduce a functional beverage in the form of date milk as a healthy option for suhoor and iftar. Fasting can affect energy levels and learning concentration; therefore, students need to be equipped with knowledge about proper dietary patterns to remain active and focused at school. Through nutrition education and demonstrations of date milk preparation, students are expected to understand the importance of balanced nutrition during fasting, gain insight into the benefits of date milk, improve their skills in preparing healthy beverages, and develop awareness to adopt healthier dietary habits during Ramadan.
