Family Features From the trees to the breeze, picnics are a fun way your family can soak up the sunshine while enjoying a delicious and nutritious meal together. "They accomplish three amazing things needed for healthy living: nourish- ing the body, focusing on relationships and soaking up the benefits of being sur- rounded by nature," said registered dieti- tian, nutritionist and TV host Annessa Chumbley. Consider stepping up your picnic game with a refreshing option like seafood. Eating seafood two times per week, as rec- ommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, can provide unique health ben- efits as a lean protein and source of omega- 3s, healthy fats that are beneficial for your heart and your brain. Try these picnic tips from Chumbley: ■ Pack bottles of cold or even frozen water in the picnic basket. ■ Plan to eat fresh and healthy foods like this easy-to-make Crab Salad. ■ Create a dip nearly everyone can enjoy. Seafood can be added to almost any dip and enjoyed with fresh, crunchy veg- etables. ■ Jars can be a lifesaver when packing a picnic. Tape utensils to the sides of the jars for easy access to favorite foods. ■ Don't bring your phones, tablets or any other device that can distract you from family time. ■ Try taping a thermometer inside your bag or cooler so you know the food is at safe, cool temperatures. ■ Pack a small cutting board and knife for chopping up fruits and vegetables.
