Adding nutrition to Holiday tradition
Health. The dietitian at ShopRite is offering consultations, demonstrations and tips on nutritional eating during the holidays.
ShopRite of Sparta’s new Registered Dietitian Samantha Cifelli knows it can be a challenge to eat nutritious meals around the holidays. That’s why she has devised five tips for healthy holiday eating.
During November, Cifelli has several special events planned, including a children’s cooking class at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 20. Food demonstrations will take place in the store on Nov. 16, and Nov. 30, featuring recipes like pumpkin and spice energy bites, which are made with dates, pecans, oats, yogurt, canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice, chia seeds and sea salt.
Cifelli also offers an array of ongoing free nutrition services. She provides store tours and cooking demonstrations along with complimentary one-on-one counseling services for customers and associates. She can help customers navigate the aisles to help them better understand food labels.
“Ms. Cifelli and all of ShopRite’s Registered Dietitians can help consumers and associates stick to healthy eating habits, even during the holidays,” said Natalie Menza-Crowe, MS, RD, Director of Health & Wellness at ShopRite. “We’re excited that Ms. Cifelli has joined our team of dietitians and will be helping ShopRite consumers through the holidays to make sure they are eating healthy and nutritious meals.”
