Summer is here! That means more time outside and lighter foods to combat the heat. Choosing healthy foods that will keep you energized for fun, does not have to break the bank.
Here are some great options for budget friendly, fueling foods:
Snack well. Peanut butter, hummus, vegetables, almonds and plain popcorn are all excellent options for filling you up with nutrients. Peanut butter and almonds are rich in protein and popcorn is packed with fiber. These are also super portable, so you can take them with you.
Eat more kale. This “trendy” lettuce is still an inexpensive option for punching up salads and other dishes. Chop and cook with fish or eggs, and mix with your favorite salad toppings for antioxidant-rich, filling summer meals.
Drink more smoothies. Bags of frozen fruits go a long way when it comes to making smoothies. Mix with peanut butter, juice, water, or another liquid to add flavor.There are plenty of ways to eat exciting, summer-friendly, and healthy foods on a budget. Think creatively and you will be the envy of other beach-goers.
