The lessons are based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate. Topics include making healthy food taste good, making quick and healthy meals and snacks, eating on a budget, losing and maintaining weight, creating a healthy lifestyle, and fitting in physical activity. The workshops are designed for adults and can be tailored to your audience.
For each workshop, the guide includes supply lists, preparation instructions, a detailed outline and an easy-to-follow lesson plan. General recipes are included, without nutrition information. Each workshop is approximately 1 hour long. Preparation time will vary based on the instructor and which activities are selected, but will likely be between 30-90 minutes. Corresponding handouts are included, as well as a list of other resources that can be used. Most resources are free, but some additional materials such as food and photocopying will have a cost. Surveys are included as part of each workshop and may be used as an evaluation component. Workshops may be taught as stand-alone workshops or as a series. They do not need to be presented consecutively.
