Family-Friendly Bites to Keep Summer Bitchin’
Sun’s out, kids are out of school, and Starr Edwards—the SoCal mama of five and founder of Bitchin’ Sauce—is packing up her beach cooler. With years of parenting and snack-slinging under her belt, Starr knows that beach days are better with the right mix of sun, SPF, and a cooler full of fuel to keep the kiddos energized for marathon sandcastle sessions.
Her #1 essential? A stash of nutrient-packed, kid-approved eats—starting (naturally) with Bitchin’ Sauce.
“For us, beach days aren’t complete without Bitchin’ Sauce, ” says Starr. “It checks all the boxes—filled with real ingredients, easy to pack, and keeps both the kids and adults satisfied and happy. ”
So what’s inside this SoCal mom’s cooler? Here’s what Starr packs when she hits the coast with husband Luke and their five kids in tow:
1. Snackable Veggies & Dippers Mini bell peppers, snap peas, cucumber rounds, and jicama sticks are perfect for scooping up creamy, dreamy Bitchin’ Sauce. Add in a bag of sturdy snacks like organic pita chips or cassava crackers from Mother’s Organic for a satisfying crunch that holds up in the sun.
2. Frozen Mangos Toss frozen mango chunks into reusable silicone bags the night before for a frosty treat that doubles as an ice pack. Bonus: They’re decadent dipped in Chocolate Bitchin’ Sauce for a tropical twist on the classic chocolate-covered fruit combo.
3. Wraps on Repeat Starr’s go-to beach wrap? Spread Chipotle Bitchin’ Sauce on a whole grain tortilla, layer with leftover grilled chicken or tofu, toss in some greens, and roll it up. Slice into pinwheels for easy, mess-free bites for little hands.
4. On-the-Go Bitchin’ Bowls Preload Mason jars with brown rice, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, and black beans. Top with sliced avocado (run it under cold water to keep it from browning!). At the beach, top with a few spoonfuls of your favorite flavor of Bitchin’ Sauce, shake it up, and lunch is served.
With bold flavor, plant-based protein, and no preservatives, Bitchin’ Sauce is the MVP of any mama’s beach bag. So pack it up, zip it tight, and hit the sand—your summer’s about to get seriously Bitchin’ .
