3 Tips for Packing Healthy Picnic Baskets Whole wheat breads are high in fiber and contain more nutrients than white bread. Also, try whole grain tortillas or wraps for variety. Bring fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors to get optimal nutrients. Pack a container full of colorful fruit salad for a healthy and delicious desert! Bring a whole watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew and slice it open on the spot. Nature s packaging works beautifully to keep these fruits cool and fresh. Cut up veggies for dipping. Carrots, broccoli crowns, bell pepper strips and cucumbers are just a few options to try. Dip into low-fat dips, hummus or salsa for flavor! Consider alternatives for burgers and hot dogs. Turkey, poultry sausages, leaner ground beef, veggie burgers and grilled chicken are available and are lower in fat. Instead of sweetened sodas or fruit juices, bring seltzer mixed with all-natural fruit juice, unsweetened iced tea, or bottles of water. Freeze the bottled water the night before to use as cold packs to keep food cold. When you re ready to eat, you will have an icy bottle of water ready to drink. From Wegmans Nutrition Team 2

4 Walking Tips Dress in Layers The weather and even your own body temperature can fluctuate as you walk or hike. Layering allows you to comfortably add or remove clothing as needed during your activity. Stay Hydrated If you plan to be active for an hour or less, plain water is typically the best option to keep you hydrated. If your activity will last for more than 1 hour (or the outside temperature is high) a sports drink, juice or milk provide important nutrients and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. Pack a Snack Keeping a healthy snack on hand is a good idea just in case your walk goes a little longer than planned. Snacks that travel well include an apple, banana, granola bar or small snack bag filled with nuts, trail mix or pretzels. Wear Sunscreen Anytime you are out in the sun no matter what time of year it is, it is important to protect your skin by wearing sunscreen. Bring a Buddy Having someone to walk with makes the journey safer and more enjoyable. Good luck on your journey to better health! 3
