Make & Sip Smoothie Workshop at Crabtree Farms in Chattanooga | Workshop | Cooking Class

Crabtree Farms — Chattanooga: a bright, hands-on workshop at Crabtree Farms of Chattanooga (1000 E 30th Street) that teaches healthy fruit smoothies. The class 03/28 - Make & Sip: Healthy Fruit Smoothies is led by Chloé Watts and runs two hours for ages twelve and up. In the Evelyn Center kitchen participants compare blenders, learn ingredient selection, and blend three recipes — berry, tropical, and alkaline green — sampling each and taking home recipe cards and practical tips. The setting is what makes the workshop sing: Crabtree Farms operates as a community farm where seasonal produce — berries, pawpaws, ginger, watermelon, peaches, and plums — moves quickly from garden to glass. The session highlights how fruit texture and regional growing cycles affect blender performance, and it points out pollinator-friendly plantings that influence flavor and yield. Expect practical demonstrations: noise and pulse techniques on the top-recommended blender, strategies for achieving silky consistency with minimum liquid, and protein or fiber swaps that convert a snack into a balanced meal. Chloé Watts draws on her gardening and education work to show how seasonal substitutions keep smoothies fresh and economical. Logistics are straightforward: two hours, ages 12 and up, hands-on blending, tasting, and recipe cards included. The workshop hosts up to twenty people; check in at the kitchen counter in the Evelyn Center on arrival. Please note almonds are used in some recipes — attendees with nut allergies should take precautions or contact the facilitator in advance. Why carve out two hours of your trip for a smoothie workshop? Beyond immediate culinary payoff, this session teaches transferable skills—choosing complementary flavors, controlling texture, and scaling recipes for groups or travel. It's ideal for families, health-minded travelers, or anyone eager to bring regional flavor home without complicated equipment. Pair the class with a short walk through Crabtree’s beds and a stop at the seasonal farmstand to buy produce you’ll later fold into smoothies. Refunds are available up to seven days before the workshop with a 10% cancellation fee; classes may be rescheduled if minimum ticket counts aren’t met, so check email 48 hours prior. To reserve a spot or ask questions, contact Chloé Watts at [email protected] or call 423-493-9155. The class stands out because it ties practical kitchen technique to local agriculture; Chloé’s recipes showcase pawpaws and ginger alongside common berries, teaching preservation tips, peak-ripeness cues, and substitutions when certain fruits are out of season. Expect friendly instruction, clear safety notes around nut ingredients, and a relaxed pacing suited to first-time blenders. Whether you're visiting Chattanooga for the riverfront or local trails, this workshop is a short, actionable way to learn a portable skill and to support a community-centered farm at 1000 E 30th Street.
