Griffin Health Offers Free Cooking Demonstration about Healthy Snacking with Protein

The Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals snack healthier with a free wellness presentation and cooking demonstration.

Smart Snacking with the Power of Protein will be Thurs., Sept. 25 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen, Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford.

This free culinary workshop will feature a discussion led by Griffin Health Registered Dietician Becca Cretella about protein and how it can be incorporated into snacks for a healthier way to satisfy cravings in between meals. Griffin Executive Chef Daryeal Murphy will then demonstrate how to make vegan protein bars and egg bites, which can be made ahead of time and stored for a quick and satisfying snack.
