End the Summer with Healthy Seasonal Snacks

Summer isn’t over yet, so why not savour the final weeks of the warm weather with seasonal snacks that work for back-to-school and September picnics.

Health and wellness expert Caleigh Rykiss created a fit-nic menu that puts a healthy spin on traditional picnicking, without the typical empty picnic snacks like chips or popcorn. Both kids and adults will be asking for more!

Ready in just 10 minutes, Caleigh’s mouth-watering menu is filled with healthy fats, protein, and nutrients.  Incorporating fresh, seasonal, and natural ingredients is key for Caleigh, which is why Tre Stelle’s new cream cheeses are a staple on her fit-nic menu. Made with just four all-natural ingredients, it is the cleanest and creamiest cream cheese on the market with a variety of flavours to elevate both sweet and savoury snacks.

Caleigh stresses reading your labels to avoid any artificial ingredients or stabilizers like bean gum or sorbic acids that are typically found in cream cheeses. Tre Stelle has a small water droplet on top which indicates there are no fillers.

Here are Caleigh’s tasty back-to-school fit-nic bites featuring affordable seasonal produce!
