Try different flavors until you land on your favorite, or make your own. And think beyond carrots or celery - broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, asparagus, and green beans make excellent dippers too. Here are all the ingredients you will need to make this healthy low carb salad. I am making potatp salad, deviled eggs, brownies, baba Ghanouj, and I haven’t tabouli.
It’s a 50-quart cooler which leaves plenty of space to hold your favorite beach foods and beverages. The Yeti cooler will keep your ice frozen and your contents cold even on the hottest summer days. This cooler measurements are 25.5 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 15.5 inches high. You’re going to need a cooler for all your beach trips this summer! After all, coolers not only help us transport our food and beverages but also helps to keep them cold and fresh. This easy-to-make pasta salad has a creamy flavor, but ditches the mayo in favor of a rich vinaigrette and soft cheese.
It’s piled high with savory marinated tempeh, fresh veggies, avocado, and two flavorful spreads. Here’s a rare sandwich that actually improves as it sits. Make it in the morning on the day of your picnic, or even the night before, so that the tomato and artichoke juices have time to mingle before you eat. Fill it with something smooth and creamy like peanut butter or cream cheese. This lunch is perfect is your trying to be healthy. You can pair hummus with almost any vegetable and be satisfied.
I like to bring granola bars and of course Stonyfield yogurt pouches. I find the best options to be dried apples, apricots, bananas, pineapple rings and pears. Things like gooey raisins, mango or some of the other will have sand sticking to them. You can make these at home or buy them pre-packaged, but the best part of the granola bar is that it’s self-contained. Along with the Stonyfield Yogurt Pouches, granola bars are also one of the snacks my kids are most likely to eat when they want a quick fix.
This means they’ll fit perfectly inside your cooler without taking up much space. The top of the cooler has 4 cupholders so you don’t have to worry about your drinks falling in the sand! In addition to its other amazing features, this cooler also has a telescoping handle that will help you maneuver the cooler effortlessly. The perfect solution is to whip together our charcuterie kabobs. These delicious kabobs hold the same assortment we all love but serving them on a stick allows them to be perfectly portioned for each person!
If your kids demand slices, slice them ahead of time and then use a rubber band to hold the slices on the core. It makes it easier to travel with and keeps the slices from browning. My son is a fan of pretzels so these are another snack I love vlog to take with us places. However, they work especially well at the beach since they aren’t oily and won’t stick to anything. And, since these are self-contained and don’t require a spoon that will undoubtablely be put down in the sand, I get a mess-free way to feed them at the beach. With Lake Michigan so close to us now, my summer goal has been to spend as much time at the beach as possible.
Popcorn is an easy snack to make at home before the beach or you can buy Skinny Pop popcorn at about any store. It's cheap, easy, and healthier than a bag of potato chips. Jocelyn Hsu Bananas are high in potassium and are perfect for throwing into your beach bag. One of my favourite things to do is dip bananas in peanut butter. Whatever you do, don't forget a banana at the bottom of your bag, or else it'll become really soft. Granola bars can be healthy if you choose the right ones.
Take your popcorn to the beach with this easy 5-minute recipe. Made with nuts, banana chips, chocolate pieces and coconut, it’s just the right balance between healthy and scrumptious. Stave off hunger-related tirades by keeping a bag of this tasty trail mix on hand.
You can also make a watermelon smoothie if you prefer and add extra ice in your hot/cold bottle to keep it cool. Just skip the chocolate, so it doesn't become a melted mess. These healthy pinwheels are quite easy to prepare and are loaded with fresh ingredients. Spread a base of three cheese dip onto a spinach tortilla wrap and top with your favorite veggies. Then, cut up the pinwheels, store in an airtight container and transport them to the beach in a cooler.
