Our SPF Picks + Dr. Weil's Go-To Leftover Recipe

You asked, we answered!

Every Friday, we share a quick roundup of products we actually use and love - whether in the kitchen, at the table, or while shopping. These are the tools and staples that make cooking, serving, and clean-up easier and more enjoyable. For our paid subscribers, we’re excited to bring you a fresh new recipe every week. This Friday’s feature: Veggie Fried Rice!

Happy Friday! We covered a lot of fun topics this week. On Monday, we covered tips on using leftovers, including five easy ways to jazz up common leftovers, as well as hydrating foods to eat this summer. Diana also walked us through the difference between tempeh and tofu. Wednesday’s newsletter covered electrolytes and our thoughts on whether you should be supplementing with them. We also explored different kinds of mint - an easy-to-grow herb that is both healthy and tasty!

Today, we’re sharing our picks, including the SPF we both prefer, as many people asked about it in response to our “Can You Eat Away A Sunburn?” post. For even more leftover love, check out the recipe below to see how Dr. Weil uses leftover rice!

And in case you missed it, our Upgrade Your Summer Plate Challenge begins this coming Monday - become a Weil Nutrition Corner™ VIP to take part!

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Defense Advanced Daily UV Defender SPF 45. I created this sunscreen with Origins, and use it daily to help protect against the Arizona sun. It’s lightweight, absorbs well, and is vegan. - Dr. Weil

Freaks of Nature SPF Stick. I use this water-resistant mineral sunscreen - the packaging makes it easy to throw in the diaper bag and coverage lasts for a long time. - Diana

Trader Joe’s Sea Salt Fine Crystals. I use this to top my savory meals - it adds a nice flavor and gives a bit of crunch. Try it on fish, roasted veggies and pasta. - Dr Weil

We’d love to hear from you!

Veggie Fried Rice

This is a go-to leftover dish when I make rice - I will often make extra rice just to use it on this dish. You can sub in almost any vegetables you have on hand.
