Easy Tips & Tricks to Stay Hydrated This Summer

Snacking during our busy beach days provides energy to keep building sandcastles and spending hours jumping waves in the water with our kids. Read below for snack idea recipes and facts. You can also read our full beach-friendly snack ideas blog on our website for even more snack ideas and recipes!

Homemade Trail Mix: There is really no wrong way to make trail mix. In general, most trail mixes follow a general outline of fat source + carbohydrate/fiber source + protein source + flavor. One of our go-to trail mix recipes is ¼ cup almonds + ¼ cup raisins + ¼ cup pretzel sticks + ¼ cup dried edamame + 1 handful dark chocolate chips. This snack contains Vitamin E, Iron, Fiber, and Calcium which is important for bone health.
Triscuits with cheese slices & veggies & hummus: Triscuits are a great whole-grain carbohydrate source and also contain 3 grams of fiber per serving. Cheese is a good source of calcium which is important for bone health. Some of our favorite vegetables to dip in hummus are cucumber slices, zucchini slices, carrot slices, and bell pepper slices! These vegetables provide vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Potassium, and Magnesium. Hummus is a great source of fiber and plant-based protein. We recommend using at least 6 Triscuits, 3-4 cheese slices, 2-3 tablespoons of hummus, and 10-12 veggie slices for this snack!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich: This is a meal and snack classic but did any of you know it also contains some important vitamins and minerals? Peanut butter is a rich source of vitamin E which is important for immune system health and helps to prevent damage from occurring to our cells!
Greek Yogurt with Granola and Fruit: Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and probiotics which are great for microbiome health. Granola is a good combination of nuts, seeds, and flavor which provides a healthy source of fat, protein, and fiber. Top your yogurt and granola with a fruit of choice. We love raspberries or blueberries for this! We recommend using at least ½ cup of Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup granola, and ¼-⅓ cup of fresh fruit for this snack!
