    ☀️ Fuel your summer fun! Whether you're heading ou ☀️ Fuel your summer fun! Whether you're heading out for a bike ride 🚴, meeting friends for pickleball 🏓, or enjoying any activity that gets you moving, don't forget to fuel before you go.

A carbohydrate and protein-rich snack plus fluids before activity can help provide the energy and hydration your body needs to perform its best. Think fruit, pretzels, crackers with peanut butter, or a sandwich with turkey and cheese.

For longer outings, pack shelf-stable snacks and fluids to keep your energy up and stay hydrated on the go. Small, easy-to-carry options can make a big difference in how you feel and perform.

Move more, fuel smart, and make the most of your summer adventures! ☀️💧🍌

You're not alone. When temperatures rise, many athletes notice a decrease in appetite. But your body still needs energy, fluids, and nutrients to support training, recovery, and performance.

If heavy meals don't sound appealing, try these summer fueling strategies:

🍉 Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, berries, oranges, cucumbers, and grapes

🥤 Sip your nutrition with smoothies, milk, drinkable yogurt, or recovery shakes

🥪 Eat smaller, more frequent meals and snacks throughout the day

❄️ Keep foods cold and refreshing with smoothie bowls, yogurt parfaits, overnight oats, or frozen fruit

⚡ Prioritize easy-to-digest carbohydrates before training to keep energy levels up

💧 Stay on top of hydration and replace electrolytes lost through sweat

Remember: A lower appetite doesn't mean lower nutrition needs. Consistent fueling is key to maintaining performance all summer long.
