To help you get ready for a season of outdoor adventures, we’ve put together a list of healthy summertime essentials. Whether heading to a beach weekend or an afternoon playdate, these better-for-you products will help to prepare for anything the season throws your family’s way. From clean-ingredient sunscreen, like Bare Republic, to our favorite kid-friendly snacks, let this serve as a checklist for all of your summer outings. And because water isn’t always enough when it comes to proper hydration, we also recommend stocking up on electrolytes. Kinderlyte’s Natural Electrolyte Powder is our go-to because it hydrates 3x faster than water alone, without the use of artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or preservatives. All of their flavors are kid-approved—but we’re partial to the Lemonade. But for a boost of protein, grab a CHOMPS meat stick. CHOMPS uses the highest-quality sustainably sourced protein with no added sugar or harmful ingredients. We’re also big fans of a good DIY trail mix. Throw in some Hu Kitchen chocolate-covered Almonds + Sea Salt Hunks to an otherwise salty blend of nuts and seeds to take your trail mix to the next level. Paleo, vegan, and sweetened with coconut sugar, these organic bites are simple and delicious. Ryan is passionate about holistic health, fitness, and spiritually-centered living.
