Pack Your Own Beach Food
Now that summer is here many of us are going to be heading to the beach. Don't let the burgers, hot dogs, and fries from the snack bar be your only option for beach eating - pack your own healthy and weight loss friendly foods...
Sandwiches and Wraps:
Make sure to chose whole wheat/whole grain breads and wraps. Read your ingredient label - just because it is brown does not mean it's whole grain - it needs to say it on the label.
Fill your sandwich or wrap with lean protein such as leftover grilled chicken. Don't forget to add veggies to that such as lettuce and tomato. Tuna fish (light on the mayo) and peanut (or almond) butter and jelly also make great sandwiches.
Fruit and Veggies:
Summer fruits are great to take to the beach - peaches, nectarines and cut up melon are all great snacks. Don't forget to take some baby carrots, pepper and cucumber slices as well. Hummus makes an easy to transport and healthy dip for your veggies.
Snacks:
Pretzels, home-made trail mix and dry cereal all are easy and healthy snacks to pack.
Don't forget your water! It will keep you hydrated in the heat and remember that sometimes we feel hunger when we are really thirsty...so drink up.
