Do the words “Mum, I’m hungry” fill you with dread because you struggle to find treats that are both healthy AND appetising for your kids?
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to offer them sweet treats that are actually good for them?
It’s easier than you think! Come along and learn all about creating yummy treats that are healthy and guilt-free from nutritionist Melissa Cook in her Delicious & Naturally Sweet Workshop at Wray Organics in North Lakes this month. And yes – you get to taste all the delights Melissa creates in front of you.
Learn to Create Guilt-Free, Delicious Sweets
Melissa said she loved to show people, especially mums, that healthy eating can be fun and tasty, as it is so very important to the family’s wellbeing.
“Proper nutrition has many ongoing benefits for kids as it supports their growth and development and strengthens their immune system to help fight off illness,” Melissa said.
“What kids put in their mouth impacts their behaviour and their ability to learn as well.
“It’s important that children see their parents/loved ones eating well as this is the time that kids create habits. The more educated they are on ingredients, how to cook and why eating healthy is so important, the better their start in life.”
The workshop covers understanding important points, including how sugar can drive weight gain and how to create sweetness without the use of refined sugar.
Melissa said participants will learn how to cook with natural sweeteners like rice malt syrup, dates, spices, fruit and even vegetables.
“Learning healthy ingredient swaps is very empowering,” she said. “You will be able to create healthy versions of favourite treats like brownies, cakes and biscuits that will please even the fussy eaters.”
Attendees will also learn how to save time in the kitchen and spend some lovely bonding time with other mums. They’ll take home some of Melissa’s recipes and her best tips for reducing sugar cravings whilst enjoying delicious food.
Don’t miss this opportunity to transform and improve the health of yourself and your family on an ongoing basis.
