Summer is the best time to turn around your bad eating habits and eat healthier. Summertime is when fruits and vegetables are in their prime and available in abundance. If you don’t grow them in your own garden, attending a local farmers market or stopping by a farm stand is the perfect place to find a variety of delicious and nutritious foods.
Get into a healthy mindset and toss out all of those heavy, dense meal ideas. Sub in salads, wraps, and anything on the BBQ. The BBQ will be your best friend this summer, grill up some lean meat and veggies and you have yourself a tasty, healthy meal! Kabobs are a great way to cook up everything healthy.
You can also toss some fruit on the grill to add a fun twist! Grill up peaches, watermelon or pineapple and these sweet treats will curb that sweet tooth for way less calories.
Did you know July is actually National Blueberry Month? You can have an entire cup of them for just 80 calories, along with getting all the nutritional values including: fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Manganese. You can throw them in a salad, blend up a smoothie, bake up some muffins or just eat them by themselves!
