The UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program offers a hands on nutrition education class series called Plan, Shop, Save, and Cook. This 5-part series teaches participants how to maximize their food dollars, plan meals, save time, save money, create menus, read nutrition fact labels and so much more!

The parents of Roosevelt High School students learned how to plan, shop, save and cook using simple strategies. Check it out:

Using the MyPlate model helps participants remember the importance of including the 5 food groups when planning a healthy meal.

Planning a meal using food that you have on hand, and using the weekly sale ads helps save time and money!

Reading the nutrition facts labels from one of the ingredients of the healthy recipe demonstrated in this class! This is a great way to make cooking a fun learning activity!

Nutrition facts labels are a great tool for selecting foods that are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and low in fat.

These series graduates became experts in planning healthy meals and snacks for 5 days!
