National Picnic Day is April 23rd and I thought it would be fun to take the kids on a picnic. We’ve been cooped up in the house a lot lately and it’s always nice to get out in the sunshine, enjoy the fresh air, eat some yummy food, and play. First we needed to get some picnic basket supplies, so we headed to our local Sprouts where the kids could pick out our lunch. Sprouts instantly became one of my favorite places to shop for groceries when we moved to Colorado due to their great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and deli items. When we moved to Colorado I found that the product just wasn’t as fresh as when we were in California, but then I stumbled into a Sprouts one day and have been going back ever since. They’re high quality items, friendly staff, and low price keep bringing me back for more. With locations throughout the Denver metro area, they make shopping for quality, fresh ingredients easy.
I had an idea of what my kids would pick for our picnic, but I let them loose in Sprouts and asked them to pick out some items for our picnic. Our first stop was to the bakery/deli area where they picked out cheese, salami, pepperoni, and crackers. They grabbed a bag of kettle corn and a picnic cake for dessert and we headed over to the produce section where they picked up apples and grapes. Their next stop was the drink aisle for some juice boxes and they were done. As for me, I grabbed some olives out of the olive bar to enjoy with the food the kids picked out and grabbed some eco-friendly paper plates.
What are you favorite items in a picnic lunch?

Looks like a beautiful day for a picnic. We love doing fun outings like this too with the kids. Kids love finger foods.

I love the prepared finger foods from Sprouts too! We love experimenting with different locations for picnics too. Their favorite is Belleview Park - they have the petting zoo and train rides for $1.50 and a little river they can wade in.
