How to Healthily Navigate Labor Day BBQs
With Labor Day only a month away, you're either hosting an outdoor barbecue or getting invites. You're also probably asking yourself: what am I going to eat that's healthy?
Here's how to enjoy the last big cookout of the summer without loading up on calories!
Mains: Fire up the grill and throw on some bean burgers, portobello mushrooms or carrot dogs (they were a huge hit on out 4th of July themed meal plan!).
If you're at a BBQ that doesn't have any veggie-friendly options, grab a bun and slap on some fixings like lettuce, onion, tomato and condiments or hummus to make a veggie sandwich.
Sides: Skip the chips and dip and opt for a baked potato. An even better idea? Grab the veggies from a veggie platter and grill 'em! You can also add them to some lettuce to create a fresh summer salad!
Dessert: Fresh fruit like strawberries or watermelon make the perfect (and healthy) summertime dessert!
Remember, events aren't about the food! Keep it simple and fun!
