A PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT
​Healthy recipe contests or wellness challenges are a great way to engage employees anytime of the year. Wellness Concepts is excited to introduce a brand new tool that can take the employee-favorite recipes from your healthy recipe contest and incorporate them into a beautiful cookbook that you can gift for the holidays or use in a 30-day wellness challenge.

Our 30 Days of Healthy Eating: Menu Planner & Cookbook incorporates some of Wellness Concepts' favorite healthy recipes. It is professionally designed and available in eBook format or printed upon request. You can purchase the cookbook as is (with over 30 Registered Dietitian-approved recipes including everything from appetizers and desserts to entrees and snacks) or, better yet, incorporate the recipes your employees have submitted in your most recent recipe contest and give the customized cookbook as a company branded wellness holiday gift!

HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM CORPORATE WELLNESS COOKBOOK

1. Download our Guide to Corporate Wellness Recipe Contests to get all the information you need to ensure your next worksite wellness recipe contest is a success.
2. Submit all the recipes to Wellness Concepts utilizing the template provided.
3. Recipes will be judge by a registered dietitian based on nutritional balance.
4. The top five recipes can make their dish and have it judged at a "recipe throw down" type event - something that generates excitement. Judges can be a panel of company management and wellness champions or a group of selected employees.
5. The remaining recipes will be modified to maximize nutrient density and taste and incorporated (along with the winning recipes) into your very own customized, company branded corporate wellness cookbook!
6. The customized cookbook will include all of the existing Wellness Concepts' recipes and your employees' recipes along with a 30-Day Healthy Eating Menu Planner that can be used in conjunction with future wellness events or challenges.
7. If you conduct your recipe contest in October or November and submit your recipes to Wellness Concepts by November 30, we can provide you with a finished cookbook in time for the holidays.

Not interested in a holiday gift? There are several ways you can use this great new tool throughout 2017:

• Incorporate the 30 Days of Healthy Eating: Menu Planner & Cookbook into your New Year's Wellness Challenge in January.
• Focus on a Heart-Healthy Recipe Contest this fall and then utilize the customized 30-Days of Heart-Healthy Eating: Menu Planner & Cookbook in February for Heart Health Awareness Month or as a gift on Go Red for Women Day.
• March is National Nutrition Month and using the 30 Days of Healthy Eating: Menu Planner & Cookbook could be a great way to revitalize wellness resolutions that may have fallen by the way-side after the New Year.
• You could customize your recipe contest to focus on vegan or vegetarian eating, diabetic-friendly recipes and more.

As you can see, there are numerous ways this simple cookbook tool can engage your employees, highlight your wellness participants and incorporate your custom wellness messaging into a product employees can use for future wellness activities.
