Soak up the Sun with Wheat

Meals to Make & Take Outside

We’re starting to feel those hints of warmth outside, and since the summer solstice happens this month, we thought it was only fitting to bring you recipes to enjoy in the great outdoors.

Whether you’re adventuring around your local trails and parks or just picnicking in the backyard, our June meal plan features nutritious and unique recipes to make and take outside—with wheat, of course!

A big thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this meal plan.
