Nutritionist and Founder of Naturally Savvy, Andrea Donsky shares her tips on how to pack healthy snacks and eat clean on all of your summer outings.
Segment Highlights:
Day Trip Bag
- Give everyone their own cooler bags
- Pack sandwiches, dips, and salads
- Pack containers with dividers and fill them with popcorn, pretzels, and veggies
- Keep an extra bag of snacks on hand for those times when you can't find healthy snacks on the road
Sports Bag
- Try some hydration-electrolyte powder or fruit infused waters.
- Cut up fruit is always a great option to replenish electrolytes
- Make your own freezies from teas and naturally sweetened juices
- First-aid kit with arnica, bandages and tape
- All a few peppermint oil drops for smelly shoes
Picnic
- Pack an assortment of salads: Green salad, fruit salad and/r pasta salad
- Bagged veggies are a great option since they are pre-cut and pre-washed
- Place basil, thyme, and mint around the picnic blanket to repel bugs
- Set the picnic blanket up near plants that attract butterflies like Sage, Butterfly Bushes and Day Lilies
Beach Bag
- Finger foods are always good because if their food falls in the sand, they won't lose their whole sandwich
- Sprinkle some baking soda onto your skin and wipe it off to remove the sand
- Always use a mineral based sunscreen
[Editor's Note: We love Goddess Garden's Mineral Sunscreen that goes on clear.]
