The Western Home Communities wellness team enjoys trying new and exciting things in the kitchen and providing different opportunities for employees to enjoy. This event was no different. Amanda Lynch wellness coordinator prepared a green smoothie incorporating peaches, mango, banana, and of course the ever green spinach for National Peach Month this week at the downtown campus. As she was preparing the smoothie, dining staff members crowded around asking questions and commenting on the color of the smoothie as it was being blended up. A couple even commented there was no way that you could not taste the spinach in the smoothie. It was a true challenge for Lynch to prove them wrong. After preparing the smoothie, she poured each of the staff members a smoothie to try. As pictured you can see their excitement to try such an interesting array of flavors. Although the color might have deterred them initially, they all loved the smoothie and begged to have more blended up to enjoy. Lynch feels it is important to show all staff members whether they work in the kitchen on a daily basis, or they are amongst many of different areas of the Western Home, that eating healthy can be fun, delicious, and very adventurous. She will continue to provide these fun opportunities for individuals in the future, and looks forward to the excitement that was created in the kitchen this past week as well with every tasting!
