Summer brings great weather, vacations and time to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities. It’s also the time when fresh fruits and vegetables are at their peak for flavor and availability, making it easier to eat healthy.
Keeping cut-up fruits and veggies available for putting a salad together quickly, and lean protein from the grill, can make meal preparation easy. The convenience helps you avoid meal-skipping or taking in more calories from snacking.
