Healthy Basics

This class presents health-promoting dietary strategies that are both budget-friendly and accessible. Nutrition education components help individuals to connect diet and disease outcomes while they are simultaneously learning about easy-to-prepare plant-based recipes. Not only are ingredients and recipes budget- friendly and accessible, but minimal kitchen tools are required for food preparation. 

Participants will take away knowledge and strategies that will help them to realize savings in the short- and long-term, both in terms of their dollars saved and enhanced quality of life. Many ingredients are available at the Community Food Bank. 

This class features a cooking demonstration followed by a meal of delicious and health-promoting dishes, along with handouts of easy and affordable recipes participants can prepare at home.
