Thanks Food Explorers for joining me on Saturday! 🫶

What a great session with whānau joining in exploring the garden, making scrolls and enjoying kai together 💚

We made our delicious scrolls and lemon water with a quick break to check out the hail! Then we filled our bingo cards with what is growing in spring and some nutritional benefits matching colours to nutrients! 🥕🌱🥦

We found vitamin A is in our orange veggies and minerals in those dark leafy greens!

Vitamin A - eye health & vision, those carrots help you to see in the dark 👀

Iron - carries oxygen around the body = energy for our cells 💪

And more!

Next Food Explorers workshop is on Saturday 27th of September, hope to connect with you there! 🌿

🌸 Spring 🌸

Natures time of renewal, you blow my mind with your creations 🌞

We are nature and we can learn from nature… The winter hibernation has finished and life slowly returns with the growth of flowers, trees, and within ourselves a newfound energy.

Watch the buds bloom, the cycle of flowers & tree life, the growth of new plants 🌱

Within this season what do you see? What do you feel?

Thank you Mother Nature for your beauty, wisdom and cycles we go through with the seasons ❄️🌸🌻🍁

Happy Spring 🫶

Food Explorers Workshop!!🌿👩‍🌾🧑‍🍳

Saturday August 30th 11am-1pm at New Brighton Community Gardens 🌻

Kids aged 8-12 years old!

This week we did a trial run with local students where we explored the garden and harvested seasonal vegetables 🌿

We created delicious cheese scrolls with harvested veggies of their choice 👩‍🌾

While the scrolls cooked we sipped on freshly squeezed lemon water and snacked on carrots from the garden, matching nutrients to veggies and how they support our bodies!

The kids koved their scroll creations 💚

Come connect with nature, food, and community!

Workshops run fortnightly: Saturdays August 30th, September 13th & 27th, October 11th!

The Food Explorers Workshop cooking class with Veggie and Cheese Scrolls was a hit!!😄🤤

Homemade dough, caramelised onions, leafy greens and cheese, ya can't go wrong! And of course the kids getting to choose and harvest their own veggies to add from the garden was lots of fun connecting kai and nature. 👩‍🌾🌿

Stay tuned for more pictures of the garden session!

Here is a wee sneak peak of the recipe card and the kids Veggie and Cheese scroll creations, let’s keep the food adventures going! 🌞

Kia ora, welcome to Wise Roots Nutrition!🌿

I have recently finished my studies of Nutrition and will be graduating in September with a Bachelor of Applied Science Specialising in Human Nutrition.

Woohoo what a wild ride, I thought I would begin this new journey introducing myself, values and vision for my future nutrition practice.

Wise Roots Nutrition is all about reconnecting to the land, growing our own kai and nurturing wellbeing through sustainable lifestyle habits.

With a deep appreciation for the natural world, embracing traditional values such as katiakitanga my nutrition approach is rooted in balance based of the principles of Te Whare Tapa Whā – nurturing the body, mind, soul, community and nature.

Enhancing wellbeing with the sharing of knowledge, gardening, seasonal eating, traditional food practices, community building while inspiring behaviour change and supporting future generations.

Let’s get back to our roots together! 🌞
