Summer is here—and that means burgers, bonfires, BBQs, and road trips.
But if you’re working on your health goals or just want to feel good in your body, navigating the party spread or camping menu can feel like a challenge.
Good news? You don’t have to choose between staying on track and having fun. Here’s how to strike the balance between mindful eating and full-on summer joy:
🍔 1. Build a Balanced Plate, Not a Boring One
Skip the guilt. Instead, aim to fill your plate with:
- Protein (grilled chicken, lean beef, veggie burgers)
- Colorful veggies (salads, grilled skewers, corn on the cob)
- Smart carbs (fruit salad, baked beans, a scoop of pasta salad)
- A little indulgence (because you came for the good stuff, too)
👉 Mother of Macros meals are a great grab-and-go option if you want perfectly balanced fuel without the prep. Many of our meals freeze beautifully and fit right in your camper freezer or travel cooler—making summer adventures healthier and easier.

- Alternate adult beverages with sparkling water
- Add electrolytes if you’re out in the heat all day
🍪 4. Don’t Skip the Treats—Just Savor Them
You can absolutely have the s’more, the cookie, or the backyard brownie. Just don’t eat it standing next to the grill while wrangling kids and forgetting you even had it.
Be intentional. Sit down. Enjoy every bite.
