Microbiome Makeover: No Fads, Just Food — Cooking Series

Support your digestion, energy, and overall vitality this April—Gut Health Month—by exploring how simple, flavour‑forward foods can nourish your microbiome and strengthen your gut‑body connection. This workshop features a live hummus‑making demo along with samples of ready‑to‑eat hummus options from the Choices deli.

Join us at Choices Market North Vancouver for our free monthly nutrition workshop, led by nutritionist Claudia. With her warm, practical teaching style and deep experience in whole‑food culinary nutrition, Claudia highlights how everyday deli staples can become powerful tools for supporting gut balance and building satisfying, ready‑to‑enjoy meals.

In this hands‑on, sensory‑focused workshop, you’ll explore:

• How to make a creamy, flavour‑forward hummus using gut‑supportive ingredients
• The role of fibre, prebiotics, and plant‑based proteins in feeding a healthy microbiome
• How to build balanced, gut‑friendly meals using deli salads and ready‑to‑go items
• Tips for pairing hummus with nutrient‑dense deli salads featuring chickpeas, quinoa, and other microbiome‑nourishing ingredients

• A live hummus demonstration with step‑by‑step guidance from Claudia
• Complimentary samples of the fresh hummus plus ready‑to‑eat hummus options from the Choices deli
• A Nutrition Buck (coupon) for every attendee
• A friendly space to ask questions and connect with the Choices Nutrition Team for personalized support

This workshop is part of our Monthly Nutrition Workshop Series, where each month we explore a new pillar of whole‑body wellness. Whether you’re looking to improve digestion, understand your microbiome, or discover how to make the most of everyday deli items, you’ll leave with practical tools, delicious inspiration, and a deeper understanding of how food can nourish from the inside out.
