Back in February when the Valentine chocolates were pouring in, you may not have been thinking about what your bod would look like poolside, but bikini season has arrived and a girl's gotta eat, so what should be in your snack bag?
This the Season You know the deal; if it's in the produce section, chances are it's good for you. This time of year, the fruit bins are bursting with seasonal selections and before you settle on another bag of oranges again, consider what they might taste like blended with the bananas across the aisle. Not only will a fruit smoothie give you a healthy vitamin boost, but is the perfect refresher when blended with ice for the warm weather that has you wilting.
Go Nuts Did your "emergency stash" of M&Ms melt in your bag, not in your mouth, again? Toss the tempting treats and grab a bag of trail mix. Make sure it's one with plenty of nutrient-packed dried fruit and nuts and keep a bag on hand for those late afternoons when you need all the extra energy you can get.
We All Scream for... Yogurt. Ok, so it doesn't have quite the same ring, but try freezing a cup of the creamy concoction in a decadent flavor like Chocolate Mousse from Yoplait You'll save on calories, fat and sugar, but you don't have to give up that creamy sweetness you crave.
Fresh Food Fast! Who wants to spend time cooking when there is summer fun to be had? Luckily, these days, a quick stop at your favorite fast food restaurant doesn't have to mean a quarter pound added to your hips. From fresh salads like Wendy's yummy Garden Sensation Salads to sweet Fruit 'n Yogurt parfait cups from McDonalds, healthy mealtime won't take away from pool time.
