Dietetic Program at CCAC

09/03/2026

Our first foods lab last week was all about fruits!

After we did a few experiments on the senses, we created a few healthy, delicious dishes.

We made:

🍓🫐 Greek yogurt filled Phyllo pockets with fresh fruit

🍑Stone Fruit Caprese Salad with fresh mozzarella and mint

🍇🍐Stewed fruit over Vanilla Bean ice cream

It was hard to pick a favorite but they were all packed full of flavor, antioxidants, and fiber!
