Give Mom A Healthy Mother's Day | The Prescription Shop

Mother’s Day is coming up–have you decided how to treat your mom? The options may be endless, but this year, why not give mom a gift in good health? The Prescription Shop has pulled together some ideas to get you brainstorming.

Make brunch a healthy affair!
Mother’s Day brunches are very popular, but that doesn’t mean you have to go with the traditionally sugar-laden fare. In fact, brunch is a fabulous opportunity to enjoy healthy ingredients prepared in new ways. Think luscious fruits and small bites of real, nutrient-dense foods. Try some of these brilliant recipes to wow mom this year!

Destination: Picnic!
Traveling to another country might not be in the budget, but why not give mom a picnic to remember by choosing a theme of a favorite country or culture? Plenty of wonderful travel destinations like Japan, France, Greece and the tropics offer plenty of healthy traditional meals to choose from. Get some relevant props and music and drive to a scenic spot in town to give mom a totally new staycation. Mom will enjoy getting out of the house and trying new healthy dishes, and she’ll surely appreciate your creative spin on a basic picnic.

Craft together.
Sometimes kids’ craft projects get a bad wrap. Crafting together or creating art as a family is a really wonderful way to connect and give mom a great gift of fond memories. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy–go with what mom would love. From painting pottery, to decorating a quilt with fabric markets or creating a sunshine jar, you might end up creating a whole new Mother’s Day tradition! Hobbies like crafting, sewing, or knitting are all beneficial to our mental health–and they help us manage stress.

Check out this variety of sunshine jar ideas.
