Fuel for the Foodie Generation: Walnuts for Gen Z and Millennial Well-Being
Tuesday, January 28th at 1:00-2:00pm ET
Even though Gen Z has been identified as the “foodie generation,” they often overlook a convenient and important food group – tree nuts, including walnuts. New research, however, suggests Gen Z as well as Millennials should reconsider walnuts as a key food for overall well-being.1
Join Kristy and Jackie as we kick off the third season of Eat the Science where we will share the latest research on walnut consumption for well-being from adolescence to young adulthood, showcasing how consuming walnuts daily may help support overall well-being for Gen Z and Millennials. They will bring the research to life by demonstrating two new and unique walnut recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less – perfect for the on-the-go crowd.
Register today to join the free workshop on January 28th and receive 1 FREE CPEU for Registered Dietitians and Dietetic Technicians, Registered, approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
