The Athletes’ Kitchen at TOSH

It’s important to extend nutrition beyond lectures and recommendations. Food—how it looks and feels, its texture, and its taste—plays an important role in your dietary choices. During our kitchen-based workshops, you and your team can put the recommendations into practice by tasting samples of health snacks, pre-training meals, and/or nutrient-dense lunches and dinners.
