You can encourage healthy habits and still enjoy summer cookouts with family and friends with these tips:

Grilled Vegetables
  • Take advantage of the variety of vegetables starting in June (like peppers and onions). Grilling is a simple way to prepare them.
  • Check out this resource on seasonal produce and use this recipe for grilled vegetables all summer long.

Homemade Meals
  • Instead of buying potato or pasta salad, find a simple recipe to make at home. Use yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.
  • Try this option featuring Greek yogurt and sweet potatoes

Stay Hydrated
  • Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. It can also make you feel tired. Keep a reusable water bottle in your car, backpack, or purse to avoid feeling sluggish from dehydration.

Get Up and Move!
  • After a cookout, go for a walk, swim, or play a pick-up game. Aim for 20 to 30 minutes of activity a day as an initial goal.
