At the Wellness Center, free smoothies are available for anyone who is able to bike for them.
The first Friday of every month, the University of Wyoming Wellness Center allows anyone who comes in to ride their smoothie bike. The stationary bike has a blender on top of it which blends as the rider pedals.
UW’s Wellness Center provides all materials and the staff to help run the bike.
Lena Newlin, Assistant Director of Wellness, said, “It’s a creative way to get people thinking about nutrition and healthy eating.”
The next smoothie biking experience will take place Oct. 4, though students or student organizations who want to ride the bike before then can rent it.
Every month there are different recipes available to try, providing the community with a variety of nutritious smoothies to make at home – or bike for.
