Program Description
Event Details
Meet us in the Prosser lounge to prep three healthy family courses with your child. Children will leave with an overnight oats jar, a nannawrap, and a taco salad. The prep for each will be done at the library and then taken home to finish (for example, microwave the taco salad at home). Jars/containers and all ingredients will be provided.
The workshop includes a short presentation on nutrition basics, macro nutrients, portion sizes, pantry must-haves and replacements, nutrition labels, and tips on navigating the grocery store. We will also discuss picky eaters.
Best for ages 5 to 12. (For allergy concerns, scroll down for a list of ingredients.)
This workshop is limited to 12 children and no more than one caregiver per child for space reasons. Registration is required.
