2. Good & Gather Organic Baby Spinach
Spinach is incredibly nutritious as it’s packed with fiber, potassium and vitamins like C and K. And summer calls for spinach salad, so Good & Gather Organic Baby Spinach (now $2.99, was $3.29) is the perfect base. Throw your spinach in a bowl and add in some steak and strawberries for a complete meal, or keep it simple with ginger-soy dressing for a delicious side.
3. Good & Gather Sea Salt Roasted Mixed Nuts
Looking for a satisfying salty snack? Good & Gather Sea Salt Roasted Mixed Nuts (now $5.29, was $6.89) are a healthy option. A handful of almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and pecans is the perfect on-the-go snack, and it’s great to pack for a road trip, the plane, camping or for a short hike.
4. Aveeno SPF 50 Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an essential product not just for the summertime, but for every day to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. We’re happy to see a price drop on Aveeno SPF 50 Sunscreen (now $13.19, was $13.89) at Target, so we can add it to our backpacks and tote bags for easy access. While formulated for babies, this sunscreen is also great for adults with sensitive skin, so you only need to pack one bottle for a beach day!
