What snacks do you keep on hand for your student? I am going to try making up some protein drinks in advance, as well as some of these freezer sandwiches. I LOVE keeping colorful veggies and fruit around, ready to go. 🫛 🫑 🍎 🍓 🫐

July is National Blueberry Month, and blueberries are one of my favorite summer foods because they are easy, kid-friendly, and packed with nutrition.
Blueberries contain fiber, vitamin C, and polyphenols — plant compounds that help support overall health. They are also easy to add to meals without much prep.
Try blueberries in:
🫐 Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
🫐 Oatmeal or overnight oats
🫐 Smoothies
🫐 Salads with nuts and goat cheese
🫐 Gluten-free muffins or pancakes
🫐 Frozen as a cool summer snack
Gentle nutrition tip: pair blueberries with protein or fat — like yogurt, nuts, cottage cheese, chia, or nut butter — to make them more satisfying.
What is your favorite way to eat blueberries?

🥕 Carrots: Nature's Glow-Up Food

Orange vegetables and leafy greens provide beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.

Adequate beta-carotene intake may help support the skin's defenses against oxidative stress from sunlight.

Find it in:
🧡 Pumpkins and sweet potatoes
🧡 Kale and spinach
🧡 Apricots and cantaloupe

The secret to radiant skin isn't found in a bottle alone—it begins on your plate.

(And yes, keep wearing that SPF!)

☀️ Can You Eat Your Sunscreen?

No food replaces sunscreen, hats, shade, or protective clothing—but certain nutrients help support the skin's natural defenses.

Build your plate with:

🍅 Lycopene (tomatoes, watermelon)
🥕 Beta-carotene (carrots, sweet potatoes)
🍵 Catechins (green tea)
🐟 Omega-3 fats (salmon, walnuts)
🥝 Vitamin C (berries, kiwi, peppers)
🌿 Polyphenols (herbs, spices, colorful produce)

The more colorful your plate, the more antioxidant protection you're likely getting.

Nature gave us a beautiful partnership:
🧴 Sun safety on the outside.
🥗 Nutrition on the inside.

🐟 Healthy Fats for Healthy Skin

Omega-3 fats help maintain the skin barrier and may reduce inflammation triggered by excessive sun exposure.

Include:
🐟 Salmon
🐟 Sardines
🌱 Chia seeds
🌱 Walnuts
🌱 Ground flaxseed

Your skin is made of cells—and those cells need nourishing fats to thrive.

Feed your glow from within.
