BATON ROUGE-LA- CC’s Community Coffee House® is partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana’s “Louisiana 2 Step” motivational program for the third year in order to continue educating South Louisiana residents on how to enjoy everyday activities and CC’s® drinks and food items while staying healthy.

“CC’s is always looking for ways to help our customers stay healthy, and our partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Louisiana 2 Step Program continues to do just that,” said Celton Hayden, General Manager of Retail Operations, CC’s Community Coffee House.

From January through March 2011, CC’s will be offering customers Guilt-Free drinks and food items.  Guilt-Free drinks are prepared with skim milk and sugar-free flavors which significantly reduce the calories in a drink.  The Guilt-Free food items have fewer calories or more wholesome ingredients than non-guilt-free items.  Some selections are:  Whole Wheat Triple Berry Muffins, Whole Wheat Banana Nut Muffins, Strawberry Yogurt Parfait, and Mini Turkey and Swiss Croissant cups.

Also, CC’s and Louisiana 2 Step are offering Guilt-Free Guides which include healthy living tips and coupons for CC’s Guilt-Free products, in addition to special offers from local health-related businesses which will help customers achieve their healthy lifestyle goals.
