Independence Day is almost here! A day that is known for fireworks and barbeques! Just because you are trying to eat healthy, doesn't mean you have to skip out on the festivities. Follow these tips to ensure you have a safe and healthy holiday weekend.
1) If you plan on going to a BBQ party, try grilling up our Grilled Zucchini or Grilled Salmon Burgers
2) Don't linger at the food table, as this can lead to mindless munching. Instead, grab healthy choices and sit with your family and friends.
3) Before filling up your plate do a lap. Survey your selections first; as this will help you narrow down your options.
4) Get active. Celebrate by being active and having fun with loved ones. You could start an annual tradition with your family, such as a kickball or volleyball tournament.
5) No matter where you are, you can't deny July is hot! Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Or drink an ice cold lemonade to cool yourself down, try our Lemon- Limeade Electrolyte Drink Mix
