MISSION INSPIRATION

MISSION PERK

Alberta Milk nutrition educa-tor and dietician Colinda Hunter says there are approximately

farms in Alberta that produce milk.

However, she says, most adults still don’t get enough of it. “Smoothies are a great way to incorporate milk into your diet,” she says. And there’s plenty of green you can add to

your milk smoothie, from avocadoes to kale. If you eat Alberta food to complete this

week’s mission, tag your post with #tasteab for an extra chance to see your food in the

paper!Tasty-looking smoothie photo by Gastroposter Teri Coombes

Your mission this week is tosomething green, a colour we associate with freshness, springtime and vitality

— not to mention St. Patrick’s Day, which is just around the corner. From minty des-

serts to lush veggies and from guacamole to green tea, make your fellow Gastroposters

green with food envy.

NEXT MISSION:

Each week, Gastropost recognizes some of its members who made Alberta food a part of their experience. Complete this week’s mission (see right) and tag your

post with #tasteab, and you could see your food in this space next week!
