Clean Eating Boot Camp

Learn to cook healthy, nourishing meals in this fun, hands-on bootcamp! Wellness Chef Alia Dalal will show you how to make tasty, filling and delicious meals quickly from whole food ingredients. Focusing on simple preparations, this class will get you up to speed on the latest nutritional best practices and get you inspired to make clean eating a consistent pattern in your life. 

Using vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fruits and optional animal products, you'll get hands-on experience creating dishes from smoothies, salads, soups, bowl meals, sweet treats and even a healing, anti-inflammatory turmeric beverage. You'll also get guidance in going off-recipe and learn formulas to make dinner from what you have on hand, while adding interest and texture, and you'll learn 3 clean sauces and dressings you have in your back pocket to spice up any meal. 

Students will also get individualized or group time with Wellness Chef Alia Dalal. Chef will email students the week before class to be sure to learn about individual requests for techniques, additional recipes or challenges. 

Class is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free folks and omnivores. Class will feature an optional 30 minute animal foods preparation segment.
