These summery snacks are great for the beach, or for anywhere else!
Summer is here! And summer means beach trips! Whether you spend your time at the beach swimming, tanning, or running, you’re going to get hungry. It can be tempting to buy ice cream or hot dogs at the concession stand, but you won’t feel so good after you eat them. Beach snacks are also often overpriced. Save money and calories by packing your own snacks. Homemade snacks are always healthier than store-bought ones, and our skinny snacks are tastier than store-bought ones, too! Put on your swimsuit and sunscreen, grab a towel and one of these 13 best beach snacks, and you’re ready to go!
