So this week is what is known as "Welcome Week" as students begin o move away from home and move into accommodation, RGU have organised this week to introduce students to the university and Scottish culture before the madness of Freshers Week begins. This week we have been very busy meeting lots of new students from the Welcome to Garthdee event on Wednesday to visiting various accommodation sites all week to promote our social media launch, what we offer on campus and our new promotions. With all of our catering outlets opening this week we this week we thought it would be interesting for all of you to find out our top five picks for healthy menu items on campus, a little insight into what we have to offer at RGU. Lets get started!
5. Freshly Baked Potatoes With A Selection of Fillings-
A staple lunch item baked potato is on our list because the carbohydrates from the potato will keep you full all day and give you lots of energy. With the skin on, the potatoes are also a good source of fiber and it can be catered to so many tastes! With a variety of fillings both meat and vegetarian this is an easily customisable menu item you wont get bored of easily available all over campus!
4. Omelette Bar-
Our omelette bar in the RGU Sports Café is another fantastic healthy menu item, eggs are a great source of protein, a vital nutrient especially if you are exercising in order to build muscle. Again this item is very customisable, you can add vegetables for an extra health kick or add diary by putting in some cheese or maybe add another protein boost with some ham.
3. Per Peri Grilled Chicken with Rice-
A menu item which was seen this week in the Faculty of Health and Social Care, per peri chicken is a very popular menu item adding a kick of flavour to your normal chicken breast. Chicken being a source of white meat is a good alternative protein and much healthier than red meat. Rice is also another good carbohydrate which means you'll stay fuller for longer and less likely to crave those sugary or salty snacks later in the day.
2. Boxed Salad-
Available in Scotts Basement, RGU Sports Café and Grays School of Art you won't struggle to find a salad on campus! A carb free menu item the salad is a nice lighter alternative to rice or potatoes if your feeling lethargic. Packed full of vegetables and nutrients our boxed salads are a key healthy menu item which again you wont tire of easily as the salads will be changing all the time! There are so many different vegetables, meats, dressings you can put on your salad it can be adapted to all tastes.
1. Soup Of The Day-
Taking our number one spot is the soup of the day! This lunch is perfect for the winter months we can already feel coming on in campus, warm, comforting and above all healthy. Our soups change daily so you can try something new each day some of our recipes including the classics such Vegetable, Goan Potato, Lentil or you could try something a bit different such as Sweet Potato and Ginger or Carrot and Coriander our soups are full of vegetables to help you reach your five a day.
We hope you enjoyed this weeks blog post, we will be posting again next Friday with a special post discussing Freshers Week,
