Eating in Season – Fun Summer Fruits to Focus On!

Ahhhhhh…. Fruits. Most especially of the summer variety. We love them for the way they taste, as an easy snack or a flavorful complement to a salad or meal, and especially for the benefits they provide our body.

 

Peaches. Especially flavorful, peaches are an excellent way to satisfy a sweet tooth without packing on the calories. Peaches can be used as natural remedy for dark circles and wrinkles, being a great benefit for the skin.

 

Watermelons. Like a cool drink of water, watermelons are good for hydration. This fruit is a lot more than what meets the eye; they contain potassium, antioxidants, carbs, Vitamin A, B6 and C, calcium and fiber. You are doing your body good by consuming  this plentiful fruit and watermelons have also been known to make refreshing drink. Bottoms up!

 

Blueberries. Low in calories? Works for me! This delicious fruit is low in calories because they are made up of lots of water. They also contain fiber, Vitamin C and Vitamin K and are well known for their antioxidants.

 

Raspberries. Add some of these little beauties to a meal and your taste buds hit the roof. Other perks, they provide vitamins and fiber and are useful for weight loss.

 

Strawberries. These help strengthen our immune system, a benefit not to be passed up. Also being an excellent source of vitamin C, these are a booster for eyes and skin.

 

Fruits can be added to almost any breakfast dish either on top or as a side. Use fruits in salads for lunch or dinner, as a garnish, or a go to in between meals!
