Cafeteria News… Did You Know…?

Yellow Mango Mania is Back!!  There are actually some blessings that come along as the scorching hot season commences. One of the best is the naturally ripe, sweet fruit we can savor at this time.  This would include the ‘King of Fruits’, the yellow mango.  We’re whipping up fresh Seasonal Fruit Smoothies such as our Mango Madness, Mango Strawberry Kiss and Mango Blueberry Bang at the Grind. The health benefits of Mango are so numerous, we will only be able to mention a few: Mangoes are rich in antioxidants and alkalizing properties which help combat cancer causing agents, inflammation and other disease. They contain high levels of fiber and vitamin C, which lower cholesterol and boost the immune system. Mangoes are high in vitamin A, which improves vision. And if that is not yet enough, add our Superfoods, Organic Wheatgrass and Organic Ground Flaxseeds, to any smoothie to create the ultimate health boost, all in one cup!  Enjoy.
