MIAMI GARDENS HEALTHY RETAIL RECIPE CONTEST
Starting in the spring of 2020, each month or so we will announce a new key ingredient to commence a recipe contest between Miami Gardens residents. Submitted recipes must contain the key ingredient and must be from a Miami Gardens area resident. Each month we will review recipe submissions and announce a winner who will receive $50 to their local Florida Healthy Corner store to stock up on some food. Then we will announce a new key ingredient for a fresh contest the following month.
If you decide to share your recipe on social media, please use the hashtag #healthyretailrecipe in your posts!

WINNER N°4: TROPICAL YOGURT BARK
Submitted by Nicole Ramsay
"I made this recipe for an iron chef competition at pharmacy school and won first place. The theme was to make healthy snacks. I originally wanted to make a yogurt bark but wanted to be creative when making it. I was feeling homesick while I was at pharmacy school, so I decided to add some Caribbean flare with the original recipe thus the creation of this recipe."
COMPETITION N°4 KEY INGREDIENT:
STRAWBERRIES
WINNER N°3: LENTIL + SWEET POTATO SOUP
Submitted by Esther McCant, CD, CLC, HBCE
