Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
What foods are best to pack for a healthy beach picnic?
Focus on hydrating foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and wraps. Choose items that don't require refrigeration like whole grain sandwiches, nuts, and dried fruits. Avoid heavy, mayo-based dishes that can spoil quickly in the heat.
How do I keep food fresh during a beach picnic?
Pack foods in insulated containers, use ice packs, and keep everything in a good-quality cooler. Choose recipes that can be served at room temperature and pack ingredients separately to prevent sogginess.
What are some healthy drink options for beach picnics?
Bring plenty of water, coconut water for electrolytes, and homemade fruit-infused waters. Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol as they can contribute to dehydration in the sun.
