Dining Hall Adds Protein Bar
With the help and encouragement of several students, Dining Services has added a protein bar to the options available at lunch and dinner.
Designed to get healthier choices in front of students as well as faculty and staff the bar will feature a wide variety of items. So far it has been very well received with positive feedback providing recommendations of items folks would like to see.
The Dining Hall staff have been experimenting with different whole grain salads as well as dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and cheeses. Tofu, shrimp, bacon bits, grilled chicken, tuna and even seaweed salad have been very popular.
One advantage of the bar concept is that students get to make their own choices about what to put on their plates. It’s also helpful that they can take just a sample of something new that may or may not be appealing.
