We’re moving through the hottest part of the summer right now, so if you live near a beach you’re probably taking advantage of the weather to go enjoy the cool waves! If you like spending time at the beach, but you’re running out of ideas for snacks to munch on while you sunbathe, don’t worry—we’ve got you! Here are three delicious snacks that are perfect for days at the beach.
Smoothie Bowls
Smoothie bowls are a perfect beach treat because they’re easy to make at home or pick up on your way, and they’re nice and cold and creamy while still having tons of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Move over, ice cream and popsicles—a smoothie bowl packs the same refreshing punch while giving you energy for much longer and helping you feel full!
Scoopable Salad
A salad is a great beach meal because it’s refreshing, light, and crunchy. But even better than a regular salad is one made with cooked-together ingredients like beans, tomatoes, and herbs which come together into a more consistent texture. Why is it better? Because it can be scooped up with chips! That means you don’t need to worry about bringing forks or spoons with you which you’ll either have to wash or throw out later.
Hand Pies
Some version of hand pies exists in many different cultures, such as Indian samosas, Spanish empanadas, and English pasties. Any version of a sealed handheld dough with filling is a great beach snack because these meals are super low-maintenance. They don’t require any tableware, and they’re already individually “wrapped” so no need to cut them up or worry about leftovers.
