Holloman Fitness Center Smoothie Zone Published March 27, 2008 By Airman 1st Class Michael Means 49th Fighter Wing Public Affairs HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The 49th Services Squadron recently opened a Smoothie Zone in the Fitness and Sports Center here. The Smoothie Zone will give those in the base community a healthy way to optimize their workout by providing them with the energy and building materials needed after a workout, according to the Smoothie Zone nutritional information. "Our smoothies are made from 100 percent crushed fruit," said Ms. Chante Rue, a Smoothie Zone employee. "They are organic and contain no hydrogenated fats which the body cannot breakdown." The Smoothie Zone offers many popular add-ins such as creatine, burn fat burn, the energizer and ultimate recovery. Refreshments like low calorie coffees and teas are also available. Mr. Gordon Benton, 49 SVS fitness director, had a very important role in the opening of the Smoothie Zone. Mr. Benton worked with contracting and marketing to receive the equipment for the facility. "We have been working on the project for about six months and to finally see it come together is good," said Mr. Benton. "We are hoping on a lot of success with the Smoothie Zone and we have received good and positive inputs from the base populace." Ms. Rue said the response has been awesome and she hopes the Smoothie Zone is here to stay.
