Exploring the Wonders of Seasonal Fruits: Summer Edition

 
Summer is the perfect time to explore the vibrant world of seasonal fruits.
Some of my favorite fruits I look forward to eating more of are peaches, cherries, nectarines, and watermelon! These fruits are so refreshing and are packed with essential vitamins and antioxidants that boost your health. Enjoying more of these summer fruits will definitely enhance your lifestyle and adds vibrant colors to your meals. — Who doesn’t love a pretty dish?
 
One of the best ways to enjoy summer fruits is by starting your day with a refreshing berry smoothie or enjoying a watermelon and mint salad for lunch. These recipes are not only delicious, but very nutritious, providing your body with the hydration and energy it needs to thrive during the last of these sizzling summer months. Try blending different fruits together to create your new house favorites. It’s fun to discover new favorite combinations in the kitchen!
 

Summer fruits are more than just tasty, their packed with nutrients. Plan a fruit-picking day with your family and visit a local farm, farmers market or produce store and pick your faves to take home. Then later you can all work together in the kitchen to create fruit-based desserts, snacks, or smoothies. Shopping for seasonal and fresh produce as a family shows unity and sets an example for the younger ones to learn about making healthier choices.
