WAC Café | Breakfast beauty | Winemaker dinner | Tour of Italy 12 WAC Magazine | wac.net Back in action Power-up with breakfast (or lunch) at the WAC Café Start your morning with healthy and hearty favorites from the WAC Café, like a personalized parfait from the breakfast bar. The café is scheduled to reopen in late January. u WAC Café Breakfast beauty Winemaker dinner Tour of Italy Taste By Anne-Marie Mennen, WAC Café Manager Do you ever get that feel- ing of needing something in the morning that's satisfying, nutritious, and tastes amaz- ing? Well, look no further than the WAC Café. Although many WAC members know me well, few realize that my formal degree is in exercise science. Because of this, and because WAC members care about what they eat and how they feel, I'm always mindful of the health benefits of items on our café menus—particularly when it comes to breakfast. If you're like me, you realize that the older we get, the more in tune we become with our bodies. For many of us, that means realizing what we need to fuel our day. You've probably heard it a hundred times, but it's true—breakfast is the most important meal of the day! At the WAC Café, we've long been the go-to breakfast option for members before and aer a morning workout, or just on their way to work. Now that the café is reopening, we're once again cook- ing up morning meals that will get your day started strong. For me, that usually means good protein and great coffee. Here are a few of my favorites breakfast protein items you'll find in the WAC Café: • Fresh fruit protein shake: Fresh strawberries, orange juice, banana, and choice of protein powder. • Hulk protein shake: e same as our fresh fruit protein shake but with spin- ach and peanut butter added. (BTW: I once made a Hulk shake for Sue Bird.) • Veggie scramble: Egg, roasted red peppers, red onion, cheese, and tomato. O L I V I A B R E N T ( 4 ) ; E M I L I O H U E R TA S ( 1 )
