Mushrooms in the News: 3-9-18
The nationwide debut of the SONIC Slinger has yielded strong media coverage. Highlights include Fast Company, NPR’s The Salt, CBSNews.com, MSN.com, Men’s Health, Reuters and TreeHugger. Don’t forget to visit a SONIC near you to try the Slinger, then share your experience on social media using hashtag #SonicSlinger.
Melissa D’Arabian, our March Blenditarian Ambassador, demonstrated her Weeknight Blenditarian Lasagna recipe on her recurring Facebook Show, It’s Tuesday Night Somewhere. As Melissa stated, “Adding mushrooms in with ground beef for extra flavor (#umami!! Yum!) and nutrition is such an easy way to add some veg into your meal. It’s called being a Blenditarian!” Please watch and share the video!
