Throughout July, West Des Moines, Iowa-based grocer Hy-Vee, and its team of registered dietitians will host virtual events focused on health and nutrition for women and infants. Events will include cooking classes, store tours, and live Q&As to provide customers with tips and information on how to shop for and prepare foods to support fertility, prenatal/postnatal nutrition, and first foods for babies.
The “Prenatal/Postnatal Nutrition” store tours will teach customers how to eat healthy during pregnancy and share the best foods to consume to grow a healthy baby, as well as how select the best foods post-pregnancy. The “Fuel Your Fertility” tours will provide customers with the basics of eating to support fertility. Each tour lasts 45 minutes and will provide customers with the basics of eating for everyday wellness and how to navigate Hy-Vee’s aisles with that goal in mind. The virtual store tours are also available in Spanish.
During July, Hy-Vee dietitians will also host a series of virtual “Baby’s First Foods” cooking classes that will demonstrate how to introduce new foods to young infants, baby-led weaning versus purees, and simple meal preparation recipes. There is a $10 registration fee for the cooking classes.
