Healthy Snacks Workshop

Rushed for time? Not eating right? How about starting with something as simple as your snacking habits?
In February, Andrea Potter of Rooted Nutrition, http://wholefoodscooking.ca/, showed us how to make healthier versions of fruit/vegetable chips and demystified the art of food preservation. 
She demonstrated  how to use your oven to create your own dehydrator. We had a great time snacking on apple, pear, parsnip, and zucchini chips along with a blackberry ginger fruit leather. 


What surprised everyone was that no salt or sugars were added to any of the snacks that had been sampled. Some participants were so excited that they made apple chips the next day. A great workshop to start off the new year!
