The Nutrition Oasis serves as a resource
room, providing fuel for athletes before,
during, and after training. It includes access
to protein and carbohydrate recovery
drinks, Gatorade and Gatorade products,
fresh fruit, nuts, granola, Greek and regular
yogurt, string cheese, oatmeal, and bagels
for all Tech athletes. The Oasis also provides
variety of specials that are provided on
“Tasty Tuesday” to keep things interesting.
A new and improved Oasis opened during
the summer of 2013 and includes a much
larger space to accommodate a full-service
smoothie bar, nutrition education area,
food prep and storage space, an additional
sports nutrition office, and room for small
catered events. This space allows the sports
nutrition program to continue to improve
how it serves Virginia Tech student-athletes
from a food and nutrition standpoint. Also
provided to the athletes are multivitamins via
the Oasis and vitamin D and calcium through
the nutrition office.
