Summer isn’t over yet! I’m on CBS San Diego with simple, fresh ideas to help you make the most of the season.
Sip Your Fruits and Veggies
Start with smoothies that make it easier to enjoy your daily five servings of fruits and vegetables.
Kencko’s motto is “Fruits. Veggies. Nothing Else.” Their snaps and smoothies offer a convenient way to enjoy the functional benefits of real foods. Their superfood and performance smoothies are made with fruits, vegetables and superfoods and provide fiber, vitamins, minerals and plant-based protein to support energy, gut health and more.
Build a Better Summer Snack Board
Next, you can’t go wrong with a summer snack board to fuel pool days and backyard barbecues. Uglies Kettle Chips are the perfect addition. They’re the only Upcycled Certified™ potato chips and are made in small batches using imperfect potatoes that might otherwise go to waste.
This helps support farmers while reducing food waste. So far, Uglies has saved more than 38 million pounds of potatoes, transforming them into nine delicious flavors of upcycled kettle chips.
Give a Summer Classic a Nutritious Upgrade
Corn on the cob is another must-have for any summer gathering. I serve mine with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!’s new NutriRich formula—the brand’s biggest evolution in more than 40 years—which delivers improved taste and creaminess along with key nutrients.
One tablespoon is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, E and B12 and provides omega-3 ALA. Whether you’re following a GLP-1 eating plan or simply looking to increase your nutrient intake, it’s an easy alternative to dairy butter that can fit into a balanced eating pattern.
Impress Guests with a Fresh Summer Flatbread
Finally, round out your summer menu with this Green Goddess Flatbread. The star of the recipe is sprouts, which provide vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
I love Wild About Sprouts because the sprouts are still alive and growing until you remove them from the package. Plus, they’re grown using up to 90% less water per package than conventional sprout production.
