The May long weekend is a little gift we Canadians always look forward to – warmer weather, extra time to slow down or get outside.  

Whether packing up for the lake, planning a backyard get-together, or enjoying a few quiet mornings with a cup of tea, we know that a little preparation goes a long way – especially when it comes to feeling great while on the go.  

Here’s a little list of natural wellness essentials that are easy to toss in your weekend bag, cooler, or glovebox. 

Electrolyte sachets 
Hot days, road trips, and fun in the sun can leave you feeling a bit drained. These little packets help you stay hydrated and energized without reaching for sugary drinks. 

Herbal tea bags 
Bring a few of your favourites—peppermint, ginger, chamomile—for those after-dinner moments or cozy early mornings. 

Natural protein bars 
Perfect for in-between meals, hikes, or that mid-afternoon “what can I snack on?” moment. 

Probiotic capsules 
Travel and changes in routine can mess with your gut. A good probiotic helps keep everything running smoothly while you’re out of your usual rhythm. 

Magnesium spray or capsules 
Helpful for muscle tension, sleep support, or just calming down after a busy day. It’s a small thing that can make a big difference. 

Travel-sized arnica or aloe gel 
For bumps, bruises, or too much sun—handy to have on the go. 

Lavender or tea tree essential oil 
Great for bug bites, minor scrapes, or just to help you relax. A few drops of lavender on your pillow at night? Heaven. 

Digestive enzyme supplements 
Let’s be honest—long weekends often come with a few extra treats. These can help your tummy keep up. 

Wherever the weekend takes you, we hope you feel great doing it. Swing by your local Nutters and our people will help steer you to the right brands for each of the May Long essentials named above. Our shelves are full of things we’d pack for ourselves!
