Summer is in full swing and it’s perfect opportunity to host family and friends while keeping health in mind. I have everything you need to be a healthy summer hostess.
First, stock up on easy, nutritious options to keep guests fueled between all the fun and festivities like Chobani Zero Sugar creamy Greek yogurt which is is a great source of protein, made with only natural ingredients and is naturally 0 sugar, 60 calories and lactose-free. Another delicious optio to have stocked in your fridge is the La Colombe RTD Draft Lattes where one-of-a-kind frothy texture meets real cold brew coffee with the flavor of a classic cafe latte. It’s made with high-quality ingredients, like farm fresh milk, beans roasted and brewed by La Colombe, and only a touch of sugar.
Next, keep wellness and immune health in mind. Certain foods such as citrus, green leafy vegetables, yogurt and green tea contain key vitamins and minerals that help keep your immune system strong. For an added boost, consider Immy, a unique, all-natural,supplement that harnesses the power of a rigorously researched strain of Mycolicibacterium backed by 20 years of research. When taken once daily, studies suggest that Immy can help to improve overall wellbeing by strengthening the immune system, reducing inflammation, and supporting gut health which may help aid better stress management thanks to the gut-brain connection.

Next, whip up delicious summer-inspired recipes like this pistachio pesto flatbread. Pistachios are one of the few plant sources of complete protein with 6 grams per serving. A recent study out of Cornell University found that pistachios are very high in antioxidants. Research suggests that eang pistachios increases the level of anoxidants in the blood while ?decreasing the markers of oxidative stress. In a food processor, blend together ¼ cup shelled pistachios , 1/3 cup parmesan ¼ cup olive oil 2 garlic cloves 1 cup basil salt and pepper. Spread on the flatbread dough, Top with cooked asparagus spears and goat cheese and bake for 15 min at 450 F or until the crust is golden.
