July is National Picnic Month! 🌞 What’s better than sunshine, fresh air, and delicious food shared with your favorite people? Whether it’s at the park or in your backyard, picnics are the perfect way to make sweet summer memories! We have a few healthy and kid friendly picnic ideas:
🌈 Snack boxes: Create a rainbow with nutritious snacks like cherry tomatoes, berries, cucumbers, cheese cubes, and whole-grain crackers.
🌯 DIY wraps: Food is easier to eat when it's all wrapped up! Roll up turkey, hummus and veggies, or peanut butter and jelly in whole-wheat tortillas.
🍉 Frozen fruit pops: Blend yogurt with fruit, freeze in molds, and pack in a cooler for a refreshing treat!
🫗 Stay hydrated: Infuse water with lemon, cucumber, or berries to keep it fun and flavorful.

🌱You don't need fancy equipment to grow food—just a little space and the right know-how. Whether you’ve got a sunny windowsill, some patio space, or a patch of soil, you can grow your own food—even if it’s your very first plant.

It’s not as complicated as it seems! Start with easy-to-grow plants, and before you know it, you'll be harvesting fresh fruits 🍓, veggies 🥕, herbs 🌿, legumes 🫘, or even mushrooms 🍄!
