- Take healthy foods along to the beach, so you're not tempted to buy high calorie, high sugar foods at the concession stand. Hard-boiled eggs, cut up fruit and veggies, and low-fat cheese chunks are great snack choices.
- Don't forget low calorie beverages - water is best.
- Invest in a small refrigerator for your car so that breakfast and lunch foods can be packed on vacation. Bring cans of tuna to combine with a dollop of plain yogurt for tuna salad on whole wheat bread. Add apple slices and a few pretzels for some crunch, and you can have a lunch picnic at a scenic roadside park.
- Take the kids to the local farmer's market and check out the yummy summer fruits and vegetables. Plan a meal together using your purchases.
- Have a backyard barbeque with grilled veggie kabobs. Try red, yellow and green bell peppers, onions and mushrooms, zucchini squash with a small amount of lean meat such as chicken.
