February being American Heart Month, the dining services department thought it would be a great chance to really amp up the provided programming. They used the heart aware information and provided residents with a very delicious smoothie recipe that seemed to fly off from the tables at each of the independent living buildings this past Tuesday during resident council meetings. Being able to provide these healthy and different opportunities for residents to try new things has become somewhat of an exciting adventure. With meetings only once a month residents are always talking about what Chef Randy and the dining services team will have at the council meetings for them. It brings not only some new and fresh ingredients for residents, gives them something to talk about afterward, but also gives the dining services team just another chance to broaden the horizons of residents and widen the scope of their palates. It has been a fun experience that will continue on as the months move into spring and summer with these delicious and heart healthy treats!
