Healthy Food Demo at Math Night, Maple Ave School

'Soul Food' recipe books! Avni Shah (NJMS '13), Arun Gurunathan (NJMS '12), James Lin (NJMS'12)

Tuesday, October 20th, REACH organized a healthy food demonstration for children and their families at Maple Ave School in Newark, NJ. The students prepared a variety of foods, including Healthy Tuna Wraps and Sugarless Honey Cake (Alex Belfar, NJMS '12), and Kale-Banana Smoothies. About 100 children (K-8) and their parents enjoyed trying different foods and learning how to make them.

The purpose of this outreach event was to promote nutrition and healthy eating in families. Many of the parents took the recipes that were presented, and replied that they liked towards the idea of nutrition-conscious cooking and would like to incorporate them at their homes.
