"The school break has started for most children in the U.S., and the hot summer months ahead mark the perfect time for people to be out and eat lighter, healthier meals," said Claudia Gonzalez, Nutritionist and Health Expert. "When being outdoors at the beach or the park, Hispanic families should opt for healthy and simple snack options that are true to their culture and nutritious to their bodies, like cut watermelon and strawberries, or jicama sticks with a little lime juice and chili powder. To quench your children's thirst, offer them water and 100% fruit juices, like Juicy Juice."
