Summer sunshine inspires us to get outside, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and have fun with family and friends. It's also a great time to start gunning after your fitness goals. Whether it's a cold, crisp drink or a new pair of sneakers, there are plenty of health and fitness products out there that make Summer even better. Here are some products we simply can't live without.
Trifecta Meal Delivery Service
"Butternut squash and kale with chickpeas, Italian pesto mushroom pasta, French green lentil ratatouille — these were just some of the delicious vegan meals I tried from the Trifecta meal delivery service. It offers 100 percent USDA organic-certified, fully-cooked meals shipped to you cold, so just store them in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, pop them in the microwave for three minutes. They're perfect to pack for lunch or if you get home late and need a quick, healthy dinner. Choose from five different meal plans: Clean, Paleo, Classic, Vegetarian, or Vegan." — Jenny Sugar, staff writer, Fitness
Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash
"Every now and then, I tend to get annoying little pimples on my back, shoulders, and chest from working out. I saw that Neutrogena had a body wash to help control breakouts ($6) on your body, and I'm so glad I got it. It smells delicious, and it keeps those random breakouts under control." — Tamara Pridgett, assistant editor, Fitness
Nike Flex TR8
"When I came across these Nike Flex TR8 sneakers ($70), I truly thought they were too good to be true. I've been on the hunt for stylish cross-trainers, and this pair totally fit the bill. They're designed for high-intensity, cardio-heavy workouts both inside and outside the gym, which make them perfect to wear at classes like Barry's Bootcamp. On top of that, they're super lightweight and breathable. I'm obsessed to say the least." — Nicole Yi, assistant editor, Fitness
NutriBullet Balance
"Not all blenders were created equally. The NutriBullet Balance ($180) is an incredible device that not only creates smooth, creamy shakes, but also uses Bluetooth technology to track all the ingredients you put into the blender. The NutriBullet iOS and Android compatible app allows users to track real-time nutritional data. Pretty amazing, right? It's worth every penny." — Gina Florio, editor, Fitness
Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress
"As someone who lives in activewear, I was intrigued by the idea of the Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress ($98). Designed for movement, the stretchy, lightweight dress also includes a leotard liner. My favorite thing about the dress is how breathable it is and the sweat-wicking fabric. It is perfect for warm Summer days. I took it on a very hot trip to New Orleans and it was the perfect for long days walking outside in the heat." — Genevieve Farrell Roston, producer, Fitness and Healthy Living
Calia Women's Limited Edition Lumia Printed Capris
"I'm always on the hunt for leggings that are soft and flattering, and fit me right. These Calia by Carrie Underwood Leggings ($39) check all the boxes for me: I can move easily and freely in them, they're super comfortable, and they hit my waist at just the right point. Plus, the length is perfect for my short 5'3" frame; not too long, and not too cropped, either. This pattern is also a fun change from my typical black pants." — Christina Stiehl, assistant editor, Fitness
W's Horizon Long Bra by Janji
"This Horizon Long Bra by Janji ($48) is the perfect combination of sports bra and tank. It provides just enough coverage and comes with a built-in bra. In addition to being super soft and moisture-wicking, every Janji purchase gives clean water to countries around the world." — NY
Ripple Dairy-Free Greek Yogurt
"Giving up dairy truly changed my life, from better digestion to clearer skin and more energy. But I've always had a thing for Greek yogurt, and thanks to Ripple, I don't have to live without it anymore! Ripple Dairy-Free Greek yogurt Alternative ($3) has 12 grams of plant-based protein and live active cultures. It's thick, rich, and creamy, and it goes great with granola and fruit, in smoothies, or just on its own. You can choose from Original, Blueberry, Strawberry, Vanilla, or Maple." — GF
Beyond Yoga Leggings: Alloy Ombré High-Waisted Midi & Spacedye Sheer Illusion High-Waisted Midi
"I first became obsessed with Beyond Yoga after snagging one of its sports bras on sale at Nordstrom two years ago. Since then, that bra continues to be one of my go-tos, and I have become full obsessed with its leggings. I recently celebrated my one-year wedding anniversary wearing the white and gold ombré pair ($110) to Platinum Pilates with my husband. If there are any other brides-to-be out there, these leggings are perfect for a bachelorette party. On the daily, I have been wearing the soft-as-butter Spacedye Sheer Illusion High-Waisted Midi Leggings ($98). I love wearing them to work with a button down." — GFR
Buddha Bowl Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn
"OMG. This popcorn is absolutely delicious. The first time I had it was on a shoot, and I've been hooked ever since. The Buddha Bowl Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn ($3) tastes just like kettle corn, but with way less sugar. It's vegan, gluten-free, and only 110 calories per serving!" — TP
Ouai Dry Shampoo Foam
"If there's one product you should always keep in your gym bag, it's Ouai's Dry Shampoo Foam ($28). Unlike regular dry shampoo sprays, this comes in the form of a mousse that quickly freshens greasy hair. It's saved me countless times in between washes and after workouts when I just don't have time for a full shower." — NY
Crazy Richard's Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Single-Serve Packs
"Crazy Richard's is one of my favorite brands of peanut butter because the ingredients are simple: just peanuts, nothing else. These Squeeze Packs ($14 for 8) are perfect to take on-the-go: I stash them in my purse and work desk to enjoy as a snack with apples or celery. Each packet is less than 200 calories and has a filling three grams of fiber and eight grams of protein." — CS
Live Soda Root Beer
"Remember the refreshing, crisp taste of root beer as a kid? Well, think of this as the new and improved root beer made for adults. Live Soda Root Beer ($2) is just as tasty as the original, but with zero calories and zero grams of sugar. It's naturally sweetened with monkfruit extract. Plus, it's got live probiotics!" — GF
Quiksilver Pierside Straw Lifeguard Hat
"My pick for Father's Day this year is Quiksilver's Pierside Straw Hat ($20). I recently got one for my husband and love that it protects him from the sun, specifically the back of his neck, which seems to always get burnt when he wears baseball caps. This hat is definitely not as subtle as a baseball cap, but it is a very fun option for a day at the beach or pool. I'm going to be buying ones for my father and father-in-law as well." — GRF
ECOlunchbox Splash Box
"I'm obsessed with food containers! I have a drawer and huge shelf devoted to them — it drives my husband nuts! But I only keep the ones I love, and this ECOlunchbox Splash Box ($23) is one of them. It's plastic-free, leak-free, and lightweight. From my kids' lunches to leftovers to on-the-go snacks, I use this container so much, I may have to get another one!" — JS
Mission HydroActive MAX Cinched Reversible Cooling Headband
"I love wearing headbands when I work out to keep my hair out of my face, but they usually slip off. This Mission Headband ($18) is not only thick enough to not fall down, but is also made with cooling technology that helps me stay cool during a sweaty workout. If you wet it and snap the headband, it activates the cooling technology — perfect for those hot outdoor Summer runs." -CS
Joriki Capris
"Soft, stretchy, and I love the pattern — these Joriki Crop Leggings ($118) have quickly become my new fave. I love the waistband that's fitted but not tight, and they dry fast after a sweaty hot yoga class. Another thing you can feel good about when purchasing these leggings is that a percentage of the profits from each sale of the Domingo Collection go to kiva.org, which provides micro loans to impoverished women with entrepreneurial spirits." — JS
