Springtime is one of the best times to purchase fresh produce, but do not limit yourself by only visiting the grocery store.

One of the least expensive ways to eat fresh is to plant your own garden, which can also be a fun activity to do with mom or dad. You can plant herbs, fruits, and veggies all to help create well-balanced meals. You can also plan to prepare a meal together in the future with your new garden and reserve more quality time in the future. Another way you can eat fresh with your loved one is to have a meal outdoors enjoying the fresh air. You can prepare a picnic together and eat at a local park or even out in the backyard. If you want to skip the meal prep, then you can make reservations at a restaurant with outdoor seating. It can be very easy to eat unhealthily when someone else prepares your food so try to stick to light portions and salads.
