Life Is A Picnic!

Posted in Healthy Eating, News, Uncategorized by Lucy

In the theme of summer fun and simplicity, I have my mind on picnics. I’m thinking of fun places to spread out a blanket, and smart planning tips so I’m always ready to go! Picnics are a perfect way to stay healthy and have fun. After all, you’re totally in control of the food choices and usually there’s a lot of physical activity involved. Here are a few of the places I’ve thought of so far for my picnics this summer:

• An old favorite park
• A new park
• The beach
• In my own backyard
• At a free outdoor concert
• With a friend who works downtown for lunch

And these are some of my new planning ideas:

• Make a picnic drawer or shelf – and keep it stocked with needed food and supplies
• Make or bring cold salads that are picnic-friendly (quinoa, pasta, etc.)

Please Facebook or Tweet your ideas! I’ll post a follow-up blog to show what you might be eating and where this summer!
