Healthy Summer Fun
Summertime is when we head for the great outdoors. A time for swimming, fishing, golf, cycling, hiking, and of course, PICNICS! If you want to stay healthy and still enjoy your picnics, here are a few ideas:
- Grilling is a great low fat cooking method. Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) for your burgers. Grill skinless chicken breasts, shrimp kabobs or salmon for your main dish. Or, soy or veggie burgers are great substitutes for meat.
- If you don’t want to grill, try making wrap sandwiches with whole grain tortillas, water-pack tuna or cut up chicken, an assortment of chopped fresh veggies and a low fat dressing of your choice.
- Baked corn chips, whole wheat pretzels or popcorn are good for munching.
- Trail mix made with whole grain cereal, nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate chips will make a healthy high fiber snack.
- And for dessert, fresh berries or melon can’t be beat. They are sweet, portable and a cool treat on a hot summer day.
