Picnics are an inexpensive, easy way to spend time with friends and family and enjoy the beautiful weather, snack on delicious foods, and soak up some extra Vitamin D. This holiday is the ultimate excuse to plan a romantic sunset picnic for your partner or a family fun picnic in the park!

Packing a basket is the first step toward an amazing picnic! Here are some suggestions for your picnic basket this #NationalPicnicDay that will make it enjoyable as well as healthy!

Sandwiches
It doesn’t get much better than a picnic with a cold lunch. Wraps are also fantastic since the fillings are hidden away on the inside, safe and secure. It’s simple to prepare and eat, as well as being healthy. You can make it in whatever way you desire.

Rotisserie Chicken
When you’re packing for the picnic, the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time cooking. You may buy a rotisserie chicken ahead of time, keep it refrigerated, and shred it right before you leave. At the picnic, eating the right healthful foods will keep your hunger pangs at bay and leave you feeling more full and less bloated. Or just about anywhere! Only you can truly care for your health, for better or worse. 

Corn Salad
Leafy green salads might become monotonous after a while, especially if you eat them every day. Instead, why not share a bowl of this refreshing corn salad? It’s full of fresh and tasty ingredients and may even be made ahead of time. Red onion, fresh cilantro, and zesty lime are just a few of the delicious sensations you’ll encounter!

Fruits
On a hot day, nothing beats biting into a cold, crunchy, and delicious watermelon! In my perspective, watermelon is a beach must-have! Bite into your luscious watermelon and then rinse off any sticky juices in the water! However, before going to the beach, we recommend cutting up your watermelon!
Much like watermelon, grapes are an excellent snack idea for the beach. They’re a refreshing treat and a much healthier option than candy. Put some apples or oranges in your beach bag; you won’t need to keep them cold for the entire day. 

Pies
