Minuteman's Vegan & Plant Based Food Series

Minuteman Community Education is offering a Vegan & Plant Based Food Series. In this six week course, we cover the basics of plant-based eating. A well balanced diet, rich in fresh produce, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds is essential for good health, longevity and beauty. But in today’s society, we gravitate towards processed, fast foods full of animals products, toxic chemicals, sugar, wheat and sodium. We are what we eat-and what we eat isn’t so pretty!

These classes will cover the fundamentals of plant-based nutrition, where to get all the essential nutrients, how to replace meat and dairy in your diet and ways to make healthy eating both delicious and fun! From simple quinoa dishes, mock mac and cheese, faux meatballs and elaborate salads, you’ll learn how to feed both you and your family the healthiest of animal-free meals.
Register for all 6 and save! $30 per session or $150 for all 6! A materials fee of $20 per class due to the instructor on the night of class.

Vegan 101 - Thursday, January 29th

This class includes an overview of vegan nutrition. How a diet free of animal products can help improve your physical and mental health, where to get nutrients such as iron, calcium and protein in plant foods and how what we eat affects our environment, our bodies and our future. We’ll learn how to make simple dishes that are easy to prepare, inexpensive to make, but delicious to eat! These dishes will showcase how to get a well-balanced amount of nutrition into each meal, while learning what homemade ingredients we can create to substitute things like mayo, cheese sauce and creamy dressings. You’ll be amazed at what unique dishes you can serve without animal products!
