Spring is here: everything you'll need for a gut-loving picnic

 

Did you know the gut is said to be the second brain? But don’t be alarmed…

 

When it comes to gut health, we get it - there's a ton of info out there! So, today, we're gonna share some easy peach-y tricks, tips, and swaps for a gut-friendly spring picnic day out…


 

Whether you’re kicking it at home with friends, chilling by the beach or looking for something solo to do this spring, a picnic with your favourite goodies is the perfect way to soak up the spring sun and warm weather 😎

 

And if you’re on a gut-loving journey…, or you're just into making little tweaks for a healthier you, we've got some super sweet tips to keep you feeling awesome during these sunny days!

 

 


What's on the menu?

 

Guess what, folks?

It's a brand new season, and that means it's time to embrace all the fresh, in-season goodies. So, when you're out grabbing your picnic snacks, go for those new fruits and veggies that are popping up.

 

 

We're talking about loading up on a colourful mix of nourishing foods packed with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and of course, fibre! Fibre is like the MVP for our gut buddies, helping with digestion and keeping our immunity in tip-top shape.

 

 

 

 

If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are some of our picnic essentials to get you started:

 

  • Fruit Platter - we're talkin' fresh berries, watermelon, pineapple and grapes to make your summer-lovin' platter fun, fresh and juicy.
  • Cheese, Crackers & Dip - the possibilities are endless when it comes to cheese & crackers. Pick your stars of the show along with some crunchy veg to satisfy your sweet peeps AND your savoury lovers.
  • Sandwiches & Wraps - Keep em' crisp, crunchy and fresh with cucumber, salad, avocado, beetroot or tomato… the options are endless!

 

 

And of course, FUNDAY Sweets! Give our summery Sour Peach Hearts and NEW Strawberry and Cream Gummies a try🍓 Made with only natural ingredients and packed with prebiotic fibre to keep your gut happy!


Hydration is key!

Stay cool this spring with plenty of hydration.

 

 

You know, water is the real MVP when it comes to regulating your body's temp, aiding in good digestion, and keeping you all refreshed. But we get it, chugging plain old water can be a bit of a snooze. Mix things up and satisfy your thirst with some gut-friendly drinks like Kombucha, coconut water, and fresh-pressed juices – they've got your back, keeping your gut buddies and immunity in top form!


Get the vibes goin’!

Whether it’s in your backyard, at the local park or beach… with some family or your closest pals…setting the scene is essential.

 

 

Elevate the spring vibes with some fresh flowers, an uplifting playlist, and a good line up of games to play! If you’re venturing out for a solo date, you can try journaling and bringing along your fav book to read in the sun, get some Vitamin D and those positive gut- promoting endorphins flowing.
