So, I have shared a few recommendations to enjoy the summer grilling of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy summer better when I know that I\u2019m eating right. The cool thing about using Personal Trainer Food is the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/our-food.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> quick and easy preparation of meals<\/a> when I get home. A few minutes in the microwave and I\u2019m eating something good that\u2019s good for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I&#8217;m really busy, I eat a lot of finger foods. My finger foods of choice include chicken wings, nuts, and savory and sweet veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are a few of my favorite finger foods that taste great and don\u2019t add empty calories.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/our-food.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wings and tenders<\/a> are my favorite. Chicken provides protein, can be grilled quickly and if I want, it can be sauced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wings-and-tenders.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wings and tenders\" class=\"wp-image-19314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wings-and-tenders.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wings-and-tenders.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wings-and-tenders.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you prefer your meat grilled with sauce, try one of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/low-carb-sauces-condiments\/\" target=\"_blank\">sauces, herbs, or flavors from this list<\/a>.<\/li><li>Summer veggie snacks are easy. Any veggie tray at the grocery store is a great snack to eat with no preparation. For grilled veggies, pick up a fresh veggie medley of sliced bell peppers and onion, add broccoli, and cauliflower florets, then group them into side dish portions, 2 or 3 of each in aluminum foil, and grill as the perfect summer side dish.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Summer-veggie-snacks-are-easy.jpg?resize=800%2C531&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Summer veggie snacks\" class=\"wp-image-19315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Summer-veggie-snacks-are-easy.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Summer-veggie-snacks-are-easy.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Summer-veggie-snacks-are-easy.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>My absolute fav is grilled asparagus. They\u2019re a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/our-food.php\">BYO side dish<\/a> for gatherings. I wasn\u2019t a fan of asparagus before I tried this recipe. Asparagus travels easily if you prepare them at home and keep them cool during travel in an insulated bag until they hit the sizzling grill. To grill, gather 3-4 asparagus, place in aluminum foil, sprinkle with onion powder, pepper, crushed red pepper, and sea salt, roll them in the foil and close the ends, then put on the grill. They are tender, flavorful, and good for eating!<\/li><li>This summer you&#8217;ve gotta try Personal Trainer Food shakes. Cool refreshing summer drinks that bring a smile to your taste buds.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Backyard, Parks, and Memories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My most memorable outdoor events are not about the food I ate but the experiences we shared. I don\u2019t reminisce about a meal I\u2019ve had in the past, but I do remember Aunt Genni winning the basketball shoot against my younger brother. The look on his face when she won was priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite memory is the first sunset my husband and I shared on our honeymoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/memoriles-banner.png) ; background-repeat:no-repeat; max-width:402px; height:369px; margin:0 auto; \">\n<div style=\"max-width:200px; margin:0 auto; text-align:center; padding-top:30px\">\n<p>Memories are more memorable when you&#8217;re an active part of the memory.\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personaltrainerfood.com\/how-it-works.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Low-carb eating<\/a> will keep you healthy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qxIk6KZrO1o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Physical Activity<\/a> will make sure you are healthy enough to be part of the fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The things that bring peace and warmth to my heart are the experiences I\u2019ve shared.
