Healthies of Hillsdale will host a cooking class on Dec. 2 to teach customers healthy recipes featuring their products.
The class costs $10, which includes a protein shake for dinner and samples of the recipe to take home.
Chase Cady, co-owner of Healthies, leads customers through the creation of healthy meals. Cady is also a chef at Olivia’s Chophouse in Jonesville.
Sierra Cady, co-owner of Healthies, said she hopes more college students will be able to attend the cooking classes.
Healthies opened last February with the mission to promote a healthy and active community in Hillsdale. “We have incredible meal replacements for athletes that are all approved by the National Sanitation Foundation,” Sierra Cady said. “We also have tea bombs that I see many college students buy before exams. It keeps them energized and focused while studying.”
Sophomore volleyball player Emma Noskey goes to Healthies about once a week with her friends and teammates.
“I go to Healthies because sometimes it is just a better, healthier option than the food in the cafeteria.”
Noskey added that the cooking class is especially beneficial for students to prepare for when they start living on their own.
Sierra Cady said Healthies holds a cooking class with 20 seats the first Monday of every month.
“We always love having people come out for the event and try out healthy alternatives for dinner.”
