MyPlate 4-Step Plan for Summer with handout, popsicle review and infographic

Fresh Start Monday NewsletterChef Judy

Hi Usman!

Summer is officially here! Are your clients getting the seasonal resources they need? If their motivation needs a little boost, have them check out the MyPlate 4-Step Plan for Summer. This plan offers practical advice for staying healthy while having fun, all season long. From exercise tips to a guide for shopping for healthful foods to strategies for skipping extra calories and even a call to stay hydrated, this post has it all. And, because every Monday needs a bit of a boost, the post comes with a handout that you can distribute as you see fit.

Of course, sometimes it's best to zoom in a little. That's where this week's second post comes into play. In Popsicles: A Closer Look, we compare popular popsicles' calorie density, nutrient content, and approach to sweeteners in order to find the best picks for summer. This exhaustively-researched guide to frozen treats is a wonderful resource for cooking demonstrations, health fairs, nutrition classes, and even one-on-one consutations. Plus, it comes with a handy-dandy infographic that highlights healthful choices. What's not to love?

Well, that's all for now. Be sure to let me know if there's anything I can do to make your summer more fun!

Yours,

MyPlate 4-Step Plan for Summer

MyPlate 4-Step Plan for SummerStep #1: Exercise

The weather is warmer, which makes summer a great time to exercise. After all, now you won't have to battle icy paths, crowded gyms, or freezing wind. Instead, paths and parks are open for exploring, pools are kicking into high gear, and new fitness classes are starting. It's totally gardening season too, which can burn off a surprising number of calories. Feel free to experiment until you find a way to exercise that is fun for you!

But let's backtrack for a minute. Why is exercise step #1 of this plan?

Popsicles: A Closer Look

Summer is a great time for popsicles... but are all popsicles created equal?

Popsicles are fun summer treats. They're generally small, and they come conveniently-sized in single servings. This makes them perfect for easy portion control. Plus, many popsicles are fruit-flavored and boast about having serious vitamin content.

But do all brands live up to the hype?
