Fun Father's Day Activities

Get Your Dad Moving and Grooving with Fruits and Vegetables

Honoring Father's Day is not just about giving gifts and eating delicious food - it's also about spending quality time with the great Dad in your life and making unforgettable memories together. This year, why not get your Dad moving and grooving with fun and exciting activities that involve fruits and vegetables?

Here are some ideas that will get your Dad sweating, laughing, and enjoying the fresh air and the goodness of fruits and vegetables:

Organic fruit and veggie picking: Find a nearby farm that allows you to pick your own organic produce and go on an adventure with your Dad. You can pick strawberries, blueberries, sweet peas, or other seasonal produce before turning it into a healthy and delicious meal at home! 

Outdoor cooking challenge: Challenge your Dad to a fun and healthy cooking competition outdoors, where he has to whip up creative and delicious dishes with fresh fruits and vegetables as the star! You can vote on the winner and enjoy a yummy picnic together.

Smoothie bike activity: Rent a smoothie bike (a stationary bike that blends smoothies) and let everyone is the family take turns making a series of smoothies in his honor!  Does your Dad like coffee and chocolate?  Whip up our Mocha-Banana Smoothie. Is his favorite color blue?  Make our Marbled Coconut Cloud Smoothie.  Does he make the best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?  Make our PB&J Remix Smoothie to return the favor!

Vegetable gardening: Start a vegetable garden with your Dad in your backyard or a community garden. Start with small pots on your porch or windowsill if space is at a premium.  You can plant favorites like tomatoes, basil or other herbs even strawberries to enjoy all summer long! 

Fitness and fruit party: Organize a fun and active party that combines fitness and fruits. You can go for a long hike, bike ride, or swim with your Dad, and then set up a colorful fruit buffet with watermelon, berries, mango, and other juicy and refreshing fruits. You and your Dad can refuel and hydrate with the goodness of nature while having a blast.

Whatever you choose to do with your Dad on Father's Day, make sure to have fun, be safe, and enjoy the beauty and deliciousness of fruits and vegetables together. Happy Father's Day!
