Eat More Veggies This Summer!
Summer is finally here! The kids are off. The sun is shining. All the feel-good feels are here. I love summer!
One thing I love the most is all the fresh local veggies… some of which will be coming from my very first veggie garden this year thanks to a green-thumbed friend! I find this time of year is easier to eat more vegetables because they are so fresh and readily available.
It’s also a great time of year to remind you all about the best hack to eating more veggies every day – the famous veggie bucket! The trick is to fill up your fridge with healthy options that are EASY, so when those snack attacks come along, #healthysnackforthewin!
It’s so easy to do…
- Load up on veggies at the market, grocery store (or your very own garden) once a week.
- Clean and prep veggies.
- Store in fridge for healthy snacks.
- Enjoy with Greek Yogurt dip, hummus, Tzatziki or on their own!
Try: carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, celery, radishes, zucchini, cabbage, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, fennel, snow peas, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes… the list goes on, and on, and on…
Happy, healthy eating!
