Beach Day Eats!

Hey all! I went to the beach today!!!

It was such a beautiful day for it. It was so relaxing just to lay on a towel all day and listen to the sound of the waves crash onto the shore.

I woke up at around 7:00 this morning and had a Whole Wheat English Muffin with PB&J for breakfast

I packed some yummy snacks for the beach

• Mary’s Gone Tomato Chipotle Tomato Sticks and Twigs
• Guiltless Gourmet Blue Corn Chips
• Mango Peach Salsa

Dara and I stopped at  Starbucks on the way

I ordered a Grande Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee with Skim Milk. Yum!!

We went to Seaside Heights which is about 2 hours from my parent’s house.  Here is a silly picture of us in the car

We’re so cheesy!

We got to the beach at 12:00 and just relaxed out in the sun until 4:00. I got a Grilled Chicken Salad from a boardwalk cafe for lunch

I ordered oil and vinegar on the side. I wasn’t expecting much from a boardwalk salad. It was mostly lettuce but it served its purpose and kept me full.  We also snacked on the delicious goodies I packed. The Mary’s Gone Sticks and Twigs were amazing!!!

They were crunchy and spicy. This is a great alternative to chips!

At 5:00, I had a White Chocolate Macadamia Luna Bar to hold me over until dinner

I love Luna Bars!! This one was especially yummy! I love how crunchy and sweet they are!!

We ate dinner at a cute boardwalk restaurant

Dara and I both ordered the Grilled Chicken, Roasted Pepper, and Mozzarella Sandwich

I didn’t like the bun it was on so I took the top half off and ate the sandwich as a mock pizza instead

We walked the entire boardwalk and finally ended up leaving at around 8:00.

My dessert consisted of red grapes, apple slices, and a small organic coffee (not pictured) from Wawa

Now I’m back at my parent’s house relaxing and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. My only plan for tomorrow is to hit the gym in the afternoon. Laying on the beach really makes you tired!!

What is your favorite part about going to the beach?
