Refreshing Drinks
With all that time in the hot sun, do not forget to hydrate with some cooling beverages. These drinks pair beautifully with our summer grilling ideas. And we’ve got some alcoholic options as well.
While hydrating, don’t forget to use sunscreen that isn’t harmful to you or the environment, like the nontoxic sunscreens from Beautycounter.
Alcoholic Beverages

Yeah, I know… We’re missing hamburger recipes to put a fun healthy BBQ sauce on. Don’t worry, we will be adding some fun homemade burger ideas this summer, so stay tuned for those!
In the meantime, enjoy these summer recipes and soak up the sun while you can. And if you get too much sun, check out Beautycounter’s After Sun Cooling Gel (which smells amazing BTW).
