Innovative and engaging cooking courses featuring healthy recipes and ingredients from MATTERbox meal kits designed to teach young people practical cooking skills and engage them in making healthier eating choices.
Due to increasing rates of obesity, unhealthy eating and lack of exercise, today’s kids may be the first generation to be less healthy and have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
To address this troubling trend, YOU MATTER Cooking was designed to educate and inspire young people toward developing lifelong healthy eating habits.
Each course features an easy, healthy and delicious recipe using ingredients from MATTERbox, along with fresh ingredients. Step-by-step instructions, how-to videos, a nutrition activity and a YOU MATTER note of encouragement are also included. Courses are available in Beginner, Beginner to Intermediate, Intermediate and Advanced Levels. Optional facilitator guides are available for each course.
In addition to meal kits, MATTER also offers snack packs. Filled with healthy food, a goal card and a YOU MATTER note of encouragement, snack packs are another great way to engage children and young people in healthier eating.
