Fave Things Friday: Get Picnic Ready

Ah, yes. It is time for al fresco dining…and bug spray.

Picnics are one of our favorite warm weather activities. Besides having a list of healthy picnic recipes, you need to have your basket packed so your outdoor dining experience is the best it can be. And, the healthiest it can be too.

Here are 3 products you need to put on your picnic packing checklist:

1. Paper Tableware from Stalk Market

Many people don’t like to carry their high-end dishware to the park but throwing away a bunch of paper or plastic can give you eco-guilt. But Stalk Market has an all-natural alternative to Styrofoam and plastic. Their product is made from 100% biodegradable, compostable sugar cane fiber. They have a slew of products from plates to bowls and containers. ($4 for 15)

2. Wide Stripe Picnic Blanket from World Market

Lying on the grass is for cloud gazing only. Make the ground more hospitable with this durable and bright picnic blanket. The blanket is crafted in India and will bring some style to your ground eating. It is 100% cotton and features carrying handles with Velcro closure so you can easily transport it to and from the park. ($24.99)

3. Flavor It 3-in-1 Beverage System from Primula Products

Don’t fall short on your beverage intake when you are on your picnic. Rather than loading your basket with sugary beverages make your own spring infused H2O with the Primula Flavor It beverage system. We have nothing but good things to say about the product and know you will stay healthfully hydrated during your outdoor dining experience because of it. Bring plain H2O that you can keep cool with the insertable freezer pack, infuse your water with fruit or herbs or make ice tea!  ($29.99)
