Lifestyles> Healthy Eating

The days when healthy food meant bland food are fast disappearing with more and more people concerned about healthy eating as part of their lifestyle. Today, our customers demand that health and flavor go together and Dining Services is committed to providing everyone a variety of healthy choices that are both healthy, flavorful and most importantly – Delicious!

Our Dining Styles survey results show that our customers believe fresh ingredients and cooking method equate to the healthiness of the meals we serve. It is with that in mind that we have worked to enhance our current recipes for all of our menus while continuing to add brand new healthy options into the menu mix as well.

Some of our new healthy option features for Fall 2008 include:

1. the Spring 2008 campus favorite - Veggie Bowl – will be introduced at Kent Dining Hall while returning to the 3 other residential dining locations
2. our enhanced Residential Dining menu will feature an expanded selection of healthy options for all 4 residential dining locations
3. we will have additional Express grab-n-go options offered at most retail dining locations across campus
4. Pencader and Russell Dining Halls will have designated vegan/vegetarian and international stations which will be incorporating a variety of new, healthy choice entrees and sides for all of our dining customers to taste and enjoy
5. Montague’s Deli at the Scrounge has been refreshed to include an expanded selection of fresh, made-to-order sandwiches, wraps and paninis while also offering more of your favorite healthy deli choices

These are just a few of the improvements we have made for this Fall and we will continue to innovate ways to bring our customers their favorite, healthy selections throughout the academic year.
