Picnic by the Lake

     It's summertime again and the weather was gorgeous yesterday, so we had a picnic in Vancouver Lake Park. It was a perfect day; clear blue skies, and crisp fresh air ideal for being out in the sun to relax.
     Who would go to a picnic without food? So I prepared this simple meal packed with nutrients, which was quick and easy to make. For the appetizer, I made a vegetable salad. Our main dish was a whole wheat turkey wrap, and our dessert was a coconut mango parfait.
     I included chia seeds in our meal because it is the richest plant-based source of dietary fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. You can also put them in a salad, yogurt, smoothie, and baked goods. Enjoy the summer!
     The next post will be the recipes of the food from the picnic.
