This week at Western Home we celebrated our volunteers with a upscale sandwich lunch and smoothie bar. With almost 1000 residents in our continuum we have many volunteers to recognize. We served about 150 at the lunch and they were thrilled with the smoothie offerings. We have offered smoothies previously but we've never had the success we did this time. We wanted to give the residents an opportunity to sample the smoothies so we gave everyone a shot glass of each with a 1oz pour and they loved it. Everyone tried the smoothies, even the green one, and the majority came back for more. A great way to get the residents to try new foods and pack some nutrients into a small glass.
The smoothies we served were:
- Banana Ginger
- Wild Berry Kale
- Mango Flax Ginger
- Almond Pineapple Peach
