Hi Everyone! My name is Amy Hanlon and I am a Dietetic Intern with Sodexo at the Allentown, Pennsylvania campus. I have completed my clinical rotation and I am currently in my Food Systems Management rotation. My concentration is Wellness, and I enjoyed National Nutrition Month immensely! As an aspiring Wellness RDN, I was thrilled to educate and inspire the employees of Munich Reinsurance America with tastings and tabling events throughout the month of March. Topics included healthy fats, wholesome grains, alternate protein sources and introduction to “new” grocery products that are good for you! Handouts for each event were created and a game, “Guess the Grains” awarded a $10.00 lunch voucher to the lucky winner! The healthy food tastings were by far the reason employees visited the table. Peanut Butter Protein Balls were the winner, with employees coming back to ask for another copy of the recipe to give to a friend. It was an uplifting experience to provide the public with a four (4) ingredient recipe that was healthy and tasted great! It was also personally fulfilling to share food and nutrition knowledge with people in a fun and informative way, and encourage them to take charge of health one bite at a time!
