Looking for a recovery drink after your run that's inexpensive and full of nutrients?

Cow's Milk rehydrates, provides electrolytes, and all of the essential amino acids needed for muscle repair. It is also a great source of carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores.

Sweeten it up a bit with a little bit of chocolate for extra carbohydrates if you want!

Enjoy!

Traveling via airplane this summer? Here are a few nutrition tips.

1. Pack snacks in your carry on.
Yes, you can bring food through security. Your favorite trail mix, granola bars, and other easy-to-pack snacks will be well-appreciated when hunger strikes. You can also pack some fruit for the trip. Clean out old containers (ie yogurt, butter, etc) and place cleaned fruit in them so it doesn't get squished. When you're done with the fruit, you can toss the containers.

2. Snacks can also be packed in your checked bag.
Have you ever thrown a sleeve of bagels and a jar of peanut butter in your suitcase? Maybe you won't need it, but it is there if you do! Maybe you need a quick mini-breakfast before your run and the hotel hasn't opened their breakfast yet. Now you're prepared!

3. Have fun, and also consider how food makes you feel.
You're on vacation! You should enjoy some foods you don't normally eat. Also, consider how you might feel after a week of eating only fried foods and no vegetables. Have fun, enjoy yourself, and also think about still feeling great at the end of your vacation!

Tips for eating well on vacation if you're traveling to a place by car that has a kitchen:

1. Prep some easy meals in advance. This does mean traveling with a cooler! Think about recipes that can travel well like putting marinade and meat in a ziplock bag, a casserole that can be made ahead and baked later, or lean ground beef and hamburgers for a fun grilling night.

2. Pack vegetables that are easy to throw on the table. Salad, carrots and hummus, or broccoli that can be tossed in olive oil and salt and roasted.

3. Have plenty of delicious fruit available in the fridge for snacking. This is the best time for amazing sweet fruit! Whether it is strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or whatever is your favorite, have it ready for hands that want to snack!

4. If you want food that you don't normally eat, get it! You're on vacation and you should be able to try and enjoy different things!

Looking for something fun to do with the kiddos this summer?

Try picking fruit! Strawberry season will soon come to an end, so check those out first. Blueberry season is up next and you may even be able to find a place to pick blackberries and raspberries. If you are feeling adventurous at the end of the summer, you can make a day trip to the mountains for some apple picking!

Just do a google search for fruit picking near you, have fun, and enjoy the best fruit nature has to offer!
