Plant Powered Plates: Getting in Gear

Based on the Physicians Committee’s successful 21-Day Vegan Kickstart book, this is class three of the Kickstart your Health series. This class will focus on the Getting in Gear. We'll continue on our journey of filling our plates full of more vegetables, beans, fruits and grains. The class features a cooking demonstration, along with handouts of easy and affordable recipes participants can prepare at home; we'll also have a physician led video lesson. What's on the sample menu? Breakfast Tofu Scramble, Mexican Kale and Blue Corn Salad, Orzo with Tomatoes, Basil, Peas and Pine Nuts.

This and every class in the Kickstart Your Health Series will take participants on a journey toward healthy weight loss, healthy weight maintenance, and an overall healthful and sustainable diet. For some participants, this may be the first time that food choice is prioritized over restricting food amounts as a guiding principle to support long-term health. This is a lifesaving learning experience bolstered by delicious plant-based recipes that help to lower cholesterol, control diabetes, lower blood pressure, and even boost energy and mood.
