Stay Healthy with Smart Summer Entertaining

Summer is the season to kick back and enjoy life. As the season of swimsuits though, you want to stay healthy, too. George Foreman helps you achieve your healthy living goals with five tips to smart summer entertaining.

#1 Keep it healthy for you and your guests

Keep your summer party menu healthy with George Foreman. Knock out the fat outside with our indoor/outdoor electric grills. You’ll avoid the hassle of coal and propane, while still enjoying the taste and health-benefits of grilled food. Keep the food light for your next party. Including heavy dishes with thick sauces or a lot of starch and cheeses can weigh guests down.

#2 Plan active parties outdoors

Summer allows a variety of outdoor activities that make any party an event. If your backyard is adequate, you can do volleyball, badminton or touch-football games with friends and neighbors. If you don’t have a yard, head to the park, pool or the beach—you can still keep the meal healthy with a George2Go™ Propane Grill.

#3 Avoid empty calories with unhealthy party drinks

Adding empty calories is easy with all the unhealthy summer-time party drinks. Instead, make your own blends with fresh fruits and juices. Do smoothies for the kids, or make adult-appropriate sangria or frozen drinks—all including a serving of fruit.

#4 Split up leftovers to avoid snacking & overeating

As the party ends, ask if anyone would like to-go boxes. Sending guests home with leftovers helps you avoid the dangers of late-night snacking and overeating because of a packed fridge.

#5 Create special events for eating well

During the summer, you can find farms open to public picking. Make memories with the kids or a group of friends, and create an all-day event out of a meal. First head to the farm then bring it home to make a farm-fresh meal. For proteins, utilize public fishing areas. Take the kids out on the water for family fun and some of the freshest grilled fish you’ll ever taste.
