This frosty recipe was designed by the Food Service Department and Clinical Nutrition and tested amongst a number of different aged patients and staff. The kid-friendly treat can easily be translated to your home kitchen. It’s a great way to ease back into healthy eating after the holidays and add an antioxidant boost to a busy morning.
