Heit Center nutritionist contributes to Panera’s Walking Classic menu
While Panera Bread has been involved for with the New Albany Walking Classic for 11 years now, this year, its menu items for the event have been selected with help from Lauren Blake, a staff nutritionist at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany.
The many Panera Bread menu items approved by Healthy New Albany include Asian Sesame Chicken Salad, Power Almond Quinoa Oatmeal, Tomato Mozzarella Flatbread and Mango Iced Tea.
“All items were judged on a strict standard and all are low in calories, sodium, fat and sugars,” says Liz Fiorino, regional marketing director for Panera Bread franchisee Covelli Enterprises. “Many of the menu items are also high in protein, fiber and other nutritious elements that are helpful to anybody, but especially those training for an event like the New Albany Walking Classic.”
