Power up Protein Smoothies excite skilled nursing residents at WHC

 
The procedure is quite simple.  Taking ordinary ingredients, placing them into a blender and pushing on has created quite the buzz in the Martin Health Center on the Western Home Communities Campus.  Not only has the dining services team worked hard to produce many different varieties of smoothies these past couple of months, but now more departments are waiting in anticipation for the smoothies to be brought out to not only residents but staff who eagerly wait the new flavor palates the team puts together.  There have been a variety of flavors ranging from blueberries, to more fall like flavors with pumpkin, nutmeg, and apples included.  It has been a great opportunity for education to residents who may not have had the chance to taste a smoothie before and understand its nutritional value.  These small drinks can pack a tremendous amount of nutrients and it is a great sight to see residents coming away with smiles on their faces after tasting these treats.  We are sure in the months to come there will be many more smoothies to go around for all!
