I was never a beach person.
Sand in my togs. Yuck.
And as you can see – no sunbathing or suntan required here.
But I am an ocean lover.
One of the nicest things about being married to a surfer is that some of our most special family moments are made up of the simple pleasures and salt water, air and sunshine bring.
I could watch for hours the twinions being chased by the thrills and spills of the ocean waves.
(Have you noticed it’s the best chasing game? And I don’t have to budge an inch!)
Best part after a trip to the sea?
The appetite you’ve built up.
Where nothing used to come close to having hot chips, the twinions now love nibbling on Healtheries Potato Wheels (Burger flavoured).
Calling them “orange chips”, the Potato Wheels have been a much healthier alternative because:
- 65% less fat than regular potato chips
- Under 2% saturated fat
- Wheat & Gluten Free
They’re the perfect portion controlled sized packets. (Key is save them as a sometimes treat).
So, with summer just around the corner (well, it might as well already be here), there’s plenty more days ahead by the ocean to look forward to and some nibbles to enjoy afterwards.
Do you belong to a family of ocean lovers? What are your kidlets’ favourite nibbles?
We had a quick beach visit on the way back from a specialist appointment, we had no gears but it was quick and the kids had a ball. LOVE the beach, HATE the sand, have STACKED on weight and need to learn portion control…

We love the beach – all of our boys could easily sit there for hours! And I love the feeling I get when I walk along the beach, its so very good for the soul.
I think that I need to check out these snacks, we have grain free and sugar free {mostly} so its harder to find snacks when out and about 🙂

I love taking my girls to the beach but we don’t get there as often as we could. How awesome are Healtheries chips? They are totally going to be a regular in my shopping trolley. 🙂

I’m not a huge fan of sand, but I can cope with it. My favourite thing is to swim in ocean pools. I love them. These are probably an easier option than the sandwiches I took last time, they ended up full of sand x

Oh we’re like you Grace. We just love the beach! We live 3kms away. Not close enough though 🙂 We’ve really been getting into our gluten free, healthier chips. Haven’t tried these. Must give them a whirl. x

Yep… we are ocean lovers too… although I much prefer a dip in a pool than the ocean… due to the shark issues in my head!
Love these snacks and yes agree the trick is to keep them as a treat. x

How cute is that video – loved it. My kids are not allowed to snack in the car, the crumbs drive me crazy (another side effect of OCD, haha) x
