Summer Health Series: Healthy Summer Favorites




Hello friends!  In today’s episode I’m going to share some of my summer healthy favorites.  Everything from food to workout tops to books to fun activities I enjoy doing with my kids.  So let’s jump in!



  1. Kodiak Protein Packed Oatmeal - Chocolate Chip, Maple and Brown Sugar, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peaches and Cream, Cinnamon.  Great to pair with a banana or blueberries.  Has 12 grams of protein per serving - compared to only 4 grams in the Quaker Oats version.  Both have quite a bit of carbs (33g for Quaker and 31g for Kodiak).



  1. Workout tshirts and tank tops - favorites are from Walmart.  Brand is Athletic Works.  $4.96 for the new tanks.  Lightweight, wicking fabric, longer in the back - covers the booty
