Native youth share their healthy recipes

We are excited to share recipes from Native youth themselves.
Gunner and Malia are participants in our NB3FIT virtual programming and took up the challenge to create their own healthy recipe! At the NB3 Foundation, we believe it is important  to introduce healthy eating and drinking to our children starting at birth. It is so encouraging to see Native youth exploring and making healthy food choices.

Thank you to Gunner and Malia for sharing your recipes with us!

Enjoy!
