Workshop 1 - The Basics of Whole Foods Eating
Session runs: January 23 - February 17
- Week 1; "Move Over, Brown Rice". Whole grains are not just about brown rice and oatmeal. We'll explore the many health-supportive whole grains out there, many of which are gluten-free, and learn about the nutritional aspects, basics on how to cook grains and creative, delicious recipes so you can have a variety of grains in your arsenal to choose from when making meals.
- Week 2; "Mother Knew Best, Eat Your Vegetables". Sounds simple right? You'd be surprised at how many people have a limited number of vegetables they are comfortable identifying, cooking and eating. Here, we'll learn about the benefits of some familiar vegetables and some that are not so familiar, like seaweed. Again, delicious recipes will be included for you to try.
- Week 3; "Superfoods for Everyday Eating". You hear a lot about "superfoods", but do you really know what they are, why they are important and how you can easily incorporate them into your regular diet? You will after this week's lesson!
- Week 4; "Plants Have Protein, Too!" In this week's lesson, we'll learn about our REAL protein needs and how to get the most bio-available plant-based proteins into our diet with less meat and animal-based products. There are so many creative and delicious ways to cover your nutritional needs while improving your health and avoiding or reducing the harmful effects of animal protein on your body.
- Week 5; "Juice it Up!" Seems like everyone is doing it, young people, old folks, kids, maybe even your next-door-neighbor. "Juicing" is a not a fad, it's here to stay. Learn about this simple, healthy way to pump your body full of essential vitamins, minerals and other good stuff. We'll explore the healing potential of juicing and how to create juices to cure or help what ails you.
