Healthy Eating Team Building Class in NYC

Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean eating bland food!

Our group cooking classes and team building activities at Selfup NYC are an exciting way to try out new ingredient combinations and learn innovative recipes in a social and inviting group setting. As a team, you will create a wholesome main entrée and a side dish from scratch that will nourish your mind, body, and soul.

To start off the team-building activity, our renowned chefs will teach you the basics of creating an ancient grain farro-based salad. Farro has a handful of health benefits and is packed with protein and fiber, which makes it a great substitute for other common, less nutritious starches such as rice and potatoes. In this cooking class, you’ll pair it with an assortment of herbs and fresh tomatoes for a refreshing starter to your main dish. This versatile grain is so delightful to eat that you’ll be dying to include it in your future dishes for added texture and nutrients.

For the main dish, you’ll utilize zoodles–also known as zucchini noodles–which you’ll form from scratch. Zucchini noodles are a fantastic noodle alternative to other carb-loaded noodle options that contain gluten. Zucchini noodles provide nutrients you won’t find in regular pasta, and their texture offers a unique spin on traditional-style noodles. To top it all off, you’ll be guided through making a delicately creamy avocado pesto sauce. All this yummy and healthy goodness is to be accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp to create a more dynamic and flavorful dish.

We want to encourage food lovers to practice mindful eating, and team-building activities provide a space to share knowledge on how beneficial and adaptable healthy foods truly are. What better way to engage in a team bonding experience than through learning how to fuel your body with healthy yet satiating foods that your whole family will love?

Get creative and try new things with your colleagues, friends, family, and loved ones. Share the love and get Selfup Cooking Class Gift Cards to bring this unique experience to those that are near and dear to you.
