Kids are able to understand what nutrient dense means, the meaning of low glycemic index, and how to feel their best. It might surprise you, but after kids learn about food dyes and the alternative to use “super-food-coloring” they say no to chemicals in their food! They want to have options and healthy choices. It seems so simple, yet somehow we forgot. Will you join us in the kitchen to live like the future matters? Freedom Kitchen is a place to gather, to nourish and to love. And this kids’ cooking program was created with love, from Freedom Kitchen to yours.
