Natural Awakenings Twin Cities

Mazopiya Taste of the Holidays November 11

Mazopiya hosts their annual Taste of the Holidays, from noon to 4 p.m., on November 11, at their store in Prior Lake. A natural food market, Mazopiya offers not only everything healthy to celebrate the holiday festivities but also affordable and convenient, featuring products that are locally produced and sourced.

Celebrating the holidays can be dangerous for the waistline; with all the delicious dishes being passed around, it’s no surprise that many suffer from the dreaded “food coma” each holiday season. Fortunately, there are ways to serve and eat wholesome, healthy foods at holiday time.

The event will showcase sampling, featuring traditional holiday fare with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Local vendors, including Veriditas Essential Oils and Beeler’s Pure Pork, will be on-hand for in-store sampling as well.

There will also be free classes and giveaways to help everyone get into the holiday spirit—and a special kids’ treat, too. Free classes include: Easy Holiday Dips at 1 p.m., where attendees learn how to whip up quick and easy dips that are great for entertaining; Essential Oils DIY for the Holidays at 2 p.m., where participants are shown how to use essential oils for making unique, handmade gifts; Holiday Mocktails at 3 p.m., demonstrating how to make yummy and festive drinks without the alcohol and extra sugar.

Cost: Free. Location: 2571 Credit Union Dr., (across from Mystic Lake Casino Hotel), Prior Lake. For more information, visit Mazopiya.com.
