1: YOUR PICNIC BASKET
In order to pack the perfect picnic, you need the perfect thing to pack the picnic in! Picnic baskets are a staple, and easy to find at most craft and home stores. Depending on how long you’ll be out for, you might want to opt for a picnic basket with an insulated rim, like this one.
Amazon also carries a ton of cute picnic baskets! Check this one out. It even includes utensils!
2: YOUR PICNIC BLANKET
Those ants you see on picnics in cartoons? Those are very real in real life! Picnic blankets help you keep your treats bug-free, and keep your picnic attire free of dirt! No one likes grass in their lemonade.
We found our adorable waterproof picnic blanket here.
3: YOUR PICNIC UTENSILS
Don’t forget the fork and knife! If your picnic basket doesn’t already come pre-packed with utensils, make sure to pack some. Napkins, paper towels, and cups are all great too. Salt and pepper is always good as a backup seasoning for your picnic guests.
4: YOUR PICNIC CENTERPIECE
Pick one delicious snack or meal item to be the centerpiece of your picnic! Most picnic snacks can be low-effort, but what makes a picnic perfect is a super-special feature dish. If you’re picnic-ing in warm weather, cold menu options are refreshing crowd-pleasers. Here’s a list of some of our faves:
- California Roll Wraps
- Light Chicken Salad Sandwiches
- Italian Pasta Salad
- Thai Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce
- and these Fresh Veggie Pockets !
Options like veggies and hummus, watermelon, grapes, berries, and trail mix are great snacks to supplement your picnic meal!
5: YOUR PICNIC DRINKS
Lemonade is a classic picnic staple. Lemonade is really easy to made – lots of lemons, ice, sugar, and water. But, have you ever explored a healthier option for lemonade? We recommend our Superfood Tab lemonade – a lemonade made with 15 powerful superfoods that boost energy, metabolism, and burn calories!
