Access to Healthy Foods

Our campus is focusing on the benefits of Dairy. Student Ambassadors partnered with our campus cafeteria manager to make smoothies for tasting. SA's prepared Tropical and Triple Berry smoothies for students to sample while sharing the benefits of adding dairy to their diets. Smoothies were also delivered to campus administrators so they could taste and learn what SA's are doing on campus to share out the benefits of healthy eating and daily exercise. All students and administrators enjoyed the smoothies and look forward to the next dairy sampling later this week.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

SA's worked as a team with the PA's and campus food manager to plan. SA's chose 2 smoothie recipes that would include fresh fruits and dairy.
