Easy Date Night Idea: Picnic in the Park

The other day on a pretty afternoon, a few friends and I headed down to the local park to hangout and have a little picnic. Honestly, things like this are *SO* under-rated. I love that little day dates like this can be as planned or impromptu as you’d like! While I love having a big, fun BBQ party, I love sitting in the city park with milkshakes just as much. I’m telling you, next time you’re bored, try this out!

All you need is:

• A good meal (the most important part if we’re being real!)
• A picnic blanket
• Sunglasses (for the inevitable hot day)
• Your friends or fa
• m!

Let’s get to it.

While I did cut out dairy a few years ago from my diet (I am very lactose intolerant) that hasn’t hindered my love of ice-cream in any way, shape, or form. Honestly, it’s done the exact opposite. I like to think of it like a game. Who has the best non-dairy flavor? They have vegan custard at a coffee shop a half hour away?? Let’s GO. I love hunting around the city for the next best non-dairy ice-cream flavor and seeing what people have to offer. That’s why when I found out Daiya was coming out with a new Dessert Bar, I hunted it down instantly.

If you aren’t familiar with Daiya and are looking to add more plant-based meals to your diet, you need to check them out. Daiya offers all the goods (aka better-for-you comfort foods) like Pizza, Burritos, and now Dessert Bars.  If we’re being honest, most of the time, you can catch me posted up on a Friday night with a bowl of Daiya Cheezy Mac in one hand, and the remote in the other lol.
