Picnics are a fun activity to plan in the summertime.  If you’re looking for something that doesn’t run on a schedule but allows you to be as lazy as you want on a Saturday afternoon, then here are some great ideas from Self Magazine for some healthy foods to pack in the basket.   Some of the ones I really enjoyed discovering were the Tuna and Sun Dried Tomato Wrap and the Banana Raspberry Bread.    Both would travel easy in the heat, be a light refreshing meal and provide lots of nutrition.

Now the question is, where to head once the basket is packed?  Why not visit War Memorial Park near the zoo and golf course.   It’s only about 15 minutes from Highland Pointe Apartments, making easy to transport your picnic, blankets and more for an afternoon of fun.  Just don’t forget to bring a Frisbee for a light workout after your nutritious meal!
