Curious how to enjoy snacks and desserts without blood sugar spikes, crashes, or guilt? Want to see what blood-sugar–friendly eating actually looks like in real life—not just on a handout? Join Cara Dodson, NTP and founder of Cara Dodson Wellness, for an interactive, hands-on blood sugar–friendly cooking experience designed to nourish your body while satisfying your taste buds.In this engaging food demo, Cara will walk you through the why and how behind building snacks and desserts that support stable blood sugar, balanced energy, and whole-body health. You’ll learn simple, realistic ingredient swaps, hidden blood sugar disruptors to avoid, and easy ways to add protein, minerals, and healthy fats to everyday recipes—without sacrificing flavor.
Together, we’ll prepare nutrient-dense desserts, then sit down to enjoy them as a group. While we eat, Cara will answer your blood sugar questions and share a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner’s perspective on:
– Supporting blood sugar with food (without restriction or perfection)
– Smart ingredient swaps and add-ins that actually make a difference
– Common “healthy” foods that quietly spike blood sugar
– How to build snacks that keep you full, energized, and satisfied
You’ll leave with both recipes to recreate at home, practical food strategies you can use immediately, and inspiration from connecting with others who are also prioritizing their health.
This is the perfect opportunity to learn, cook, connect, and nourish—all while supporting your blood sugar in a sustainable, enjoyable way.
