This four-class series is designed to help adults build practical skills for healthier everyday living through small, achievable changes in grocery shopping, meal planning, and daily routines. Each class will feature a light and fresh spring-themed recipe, including crunchy Thai salad, fruit crisps, eskabeche, and spring rolls.

The workshop series will be held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays, April 1, 8, 15, and 22 on the UOG campus in the Agriculture & Life Sciences Building, Room 125.

Under the leadership of UOG Land Grant’s registered dietitian nutritionist and SNAP-Ed coordinator, Lenora Matanane, SNAP-Ed educators Dianne Sardon, Katrina Nguyen, Niza Mian, and Ella Macatugal will deliver interactive lessons covering: 

• creating a weekly meal plan and organized grocery list;
• shopping smart on budget;
• building balanced meals;
• increasing consumption of whole grains;
• understanding food processing;
• reading Nutrition Facts labels and identifying added sugars;
• setting SMART goals for long-term success; and
• incorporating physical activity, sleep, and food safety into daily routines.

Participants who attend at least three of the four workshops will receive free wellness items to support their healthy habits.

This workshop series is part of UOG Land Grant’s and the SNAP-Ed Program’s ongoing commitment to empowering Guam’s communities with practical, culturally relevant tools for healthier lifestyles.
