From understanding micro and macro nutrients to importance of health screening, the conversation was off to a strong start.

The participants were offered a wide range of vegetarian food options to build their bowl, assisted by the volunteers. The options were mindfully curated taking the concept of a balanced bowl into consideration. From quinoa and millets for complex carbohydrates, paneer and tofu for protein to extremely interesting sauces and condiments for flavor bombs, it was a delicious science experiment!

The primary objective of this event was to inspire the participants to build nutritionally sound meal with individual components that can be easily prepared at one’s own kitchen.
