On April 18, WCG was invited to bring our nutrition displays (Veg Out teaching materials) over to the Sharpstown High School Health Fair.
During the month of March (National Nutrition Month) the Sharpstown National Honor Society scholars were so very helpful in helping WCG set up, execute and clean up for our Veg Out events at the garden! Four Saturdays in a row they were there to help out! We were excited to be invited to their campus to continue the conversation about eating more vegetables, reducing sugar and processed foods and increasing awareness about the diseases linked to obesity.
At the Health Fair we teamed up with the SHS Cooking Club to blend up some delicious Superfood Smoothie samples in Sharpstown green and gold at the Health Fair. Thanks again to the National Honor Society group for the people power to run the booths and serve up samples.
Here’s a peek at the 10 Superfood Smoothie recipes we distributed. The beautiful green Kick Booty Kale Smoothie and gold Coconut Turmeric Smoothie are the two samples we prepared. They were delish and oh so nutritious!
