In this workshop, Karen will share the fun of natural food preparation and the delicious taste of whole, organic, ripe fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds through making simple, easy-to-prepare live food recipes with children. Karen feels that it is extremely important to provide adult and peer support for children and their families desiring to live a healthy lifestyle. We will prepare quick simple recipes such as BAT cereal, banana splits, cashew lasagna, zucchini spaghetti and sweet marinara, Emerald green smoothie, and Brazil pancakes with mango and blueberry sauce, and more! Many of these recipes contain only 2 or 3 ingredients. In addition to preparing raw food recipes together, Karen will read books and poetry focused on obtaining the best possible nourishment and explain "why." Discussion on exercise, sunshine and connection to our animal friends will all be included as part of a pleasurable experience for children and parents. Does your child suffer from the "normal" childhood illnesses, such as colds, ear and throat infections, asthma, allergies and other complications? These sicknesses are not necessary. No child has to grow up with chronic illness. Come and learn together with your child in the first children's health class of its kind! Karen reveals terrific tips for children of all ages in how to improve their diet and lifestyle in a fun and effortless way.
