What kinds of foods do you want to be eating this summer? You might want a beach ready body, but let’s be real, a cup of fruit and a side salad just isn’t going to cut it. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take advantage of nature’s summer candies, that is actually exactly what you should be doing. Fresh fruits and vegetables are one of the best parts about summer! So what are some of the best ways to eat these foods every day without restricting your diet? I’m glad you asked...
A big, hearty salad- not a little one! What’s is better than all of your favorite things thrown together in one big bowl? During the winter a salad option is likely your dietary choice, but during the summer it is a luxury. A salad is the freshest, simplest way to mix and match your favorite summer foods so that every salad you eat can be a little different. A fresh, ripe pear matched with gorgonzola and toasted pecans on a bed of mixed greens topped with some lime dressing, or the trending avocado with some mozzarella, chicken, cherry tomatoes; just name it and you can mix it right in. No muss and no fuss, salads are just that good and that easy.
Another great summer food is a panini. Now I know what you’re thinking, too many carbs before heading to the beach doesn’t sound like a good plan, but that’s not necessarily true. Did you know that carbohydrates are actually our main source of energy? So stuff your panini from La Bottega Farmingdale with some of your favorite healthy foods and you have the perfect meal to stay on that summer diet as well as energy to get you to the beach and enjoy the day!
