Plant-based nutrition workshops.

These popular plant-based nutrition workshops have been the ideal platform to educate athletes about two of the most important facets of well-being – being active and eating well. The goal is to demonstrate how easy a whole food plant-based lifestyle can be, as well as create awareness in making smarter decisions. 

​

Since 2018, numerous workshops have been delivered across New Zealand and Queensland, Australia. Various forms of these presentations have been featured at expos, festivals, event panels and educational webinars. 

The topics covered have included:

• Athletes for Nature
