With summer in our sights, we’re here to help and show you how you can incorporate some easy healthy options into your day by making small changes to the decisions you have control of (and without the need to dramatically shock your body into withdrawal too)! So, where better to start than with the endless meetings that are quickly filling up your diary for the rest of the month? Say no to the chocolate brownies and cookies and turn your head to the fresh fruit, granola breakfast bars and super food smoothies that venues offer, as an alternative to the bog-standard biscuit!

Here at Access, we know that you are busy, busy, busy sorting out your diary, so we’ve taken the time to shortlist our go-to venues for healthy alternatives, to ensure a spring in everyone’s step!

What do you say? Has our sneak peek tempted your taste buds? It’s always easy to stick with the ‘norm’ which is why venues often just put forward ‘tea & biscuits’ as the catering option available. However, our friendly MICE team will be able to work closely with venues, to design a more bespoke and healthy catering choice for you and your delegates.

Remember, your new year resolutions don’t have to be boring… these little changes with tasty, yet healthy choices will not only help you feel happier and healthier, they’re also proven to increase productivity – a win win all round!
