#1. Carrots "Carrot sticks are the best snacks to munch on during the summer because the orange pigment beta-carotene gives skin an extra glow while protecting cells from free radical damage," says Dr. Aaron Tabor, M.D. and creator of Dr. Tabor's Slim & Beautiful Diet. "Carrots protect your skin from sun damage (though you still need to wear SPF) while giving you a boost of energy."

#3. Frozen Grapes
Not only will this icy treat boost your skin with antioxidants, Tabor says they are also perfect for staying cool in the summer heat. Plus, each frozen grape is only three calories, so you can munch away without guilt.
#4. Baked Protein Chips
"Protein chips are an easy option to throw in your beach bag and will keep you fuller longer," says Tabor. "They are low in fat, so they won't leave you with that 'gross feeling' after you eat them."
Skip the bloating with your diet soda and sip on chilled green tea to boost your metabolism throughout the day.
Though seltzer is a healthy alternative to soda and other sugary drinks, water is the best option to hydrate you inside and out on a hot day.

"They're creamy and filling, without causing you to crash midday from extra sugar." Try Dr. Tabor's Milk Protein Shakes to support hair and nail health, as well as build lean muscle as you sip.
