UChoose is a program that gives people the chance to make healthier choices in University of Iowa’s dining facilities. I created this "Healthy Tips" digital kiosk for around campus to create visibility with the UChoose Program.

•Eat mindfully: take 5-10 minutes to sit and eat breakfast

risk of serious disease?

low-fat yogurt

3. UChoose is a campus nutrition
education campaign
• Cook a large batch of food once—freeze the left overs for later
• Helps you plan ahead and save food that would otherwise spoil
• Avoid buying convenience food (frozen, pre-cut veggies, etc.)
• It’s expensive—buy whole foods and take the time to prepare
it yourself
• Buy in season
• Not only is it cheaper, but the food will be more fresh (and
tasty!)
