Outdoor socializing isn’t over yet! We’re ending summer on a healthy high with a Labour Day picnic that fuels your energy and savours the season’s favourite flavours.
Developed by Canadian health and wellness expert Caleigh Rykiss, the fit-nic puts a healthy spin on traditional picnicking with a health-conscious menu that is guaranteed to outshine the typical empty picnic foods like chips or popcorn.
With just 10 minutes of prep, you can put together an impressive spread filled with healthy fats, protein, and nutrients. Caleigh loves to incorporate fresh, seasonal, and natural ingredients into her recipes which is why Tre Stelle’s new cream cheeses are a staple on her fit-nic menu. Made with just four all-natural ingredients, it is the cleanest and creamiest cream cheese on the market with a variety of flavours to elevate both sweet and savoury snacks.
Caleigh stresses reading your labels to avoid any artificial ingredients or stabilizers like bean gum or sorbic acids that are typically found in cream cheeses. Tre Stelle has a small water droplet on top which indicates freshness and means there are no fillers.
