EAT HEALTHY THIS SUMMER- EVEN ON HOLIDAYS

For those of us with a short summer(Canadians and anyone else up north), we want to make the best of it. We head to the patios for a cold beer, we have BBQ's, we celebrate Friday by being outside in the evening summer sun and best of all, we take road trips. 

Because of all those fun things, it's easy to snack on chips, eat ice cream, have slurpees and eat easy, fast food (most of which isn't really even food).  This can lead to energy highs and lows, feeling tired, bloated or grumpy- not the best way to start off on your holiday!

Let's talk about road trips- I bet at some point this summer, you pack the car full of coolers, camp chairs and books, and sit for hours on end headed for your summer/ lake/ beach holiday? So, what should you pack?
