Spring is here which
means fresh and vibrant vegetables! To promote April's Superfood - Leafy Greens
- we held two events this week that featured our favorite folate-friendly
vegatables! Our first was an afternoon snack for the residents: power smoothies
with kale.
The smoothies were
prepared with all fresh and natural ingredients: kale, blueberries, bananas and
crushed pineapple with honey (a natural sweetener). Those mindful of
their diets were pleased to hear that they were 'gluten and lactose conscious'
drinks; they were even more pleased to drink them!
Our second event
involved hosting a local senior newspaper. They enjoyed a Superfood filled
lunch with steak and sauteed mushroom wraps with spinach herb shells and a side
of spinach salad with dried cranberries, almonds tossed in our homemade
poppyseed vinaigrette dressing. The dessert did not contain any leafy greens,
but they still enjoyed Sandra's homemade pumpkin pie!
