We’ll also examine the consequences of a low-fiber diet and why a low-fat, high-fiber, whole foods plant-based diet is key to both prevention and protection.During this 2-hour class, you’ll gain practical skills in the kitchen by learning to make three easy and delicious recipes that are low in fat and high in fiber. While all three recipes will be demonstrated, you’ll have the opportunity to follow along with one of them during the class. Participants will receive literature, handouts, and copies of all three recipes demonstrated.The recipes that will be demonstrated are:<ul><li>Homestyle Squash and Pinto Beans</li><li>Broccoli or Cauliflower with Sesame Salt</li><li>Mixed Berry Banana Smoothie</li></ul>Format:<ul><li>Part 1: Lecture video</li><li>Part 2: Cooking demonstration</li></ul>Where: Online via Zoom
