It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Not Christmas but Summer! AKA fresh produce season 
Eating produce that’s in season can benefit your health, your wallet, your DNA, and the environment.
Produce harvested in its peak season is fresher and more nutrient-dense. When fruits and veggies are allowed to ripen fully under natural conditions, they fully develop their vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant potential. This means better health benefits with every bite.
Here are my top picks for in-season produce this summer and why!
Watermelon
Hydrating and refreshing, it’s a staple for any outdoor activity in the summer. It’s packed with vitamins A and C and antioxidants that help keep your skin glowing and your body hydrated during hot summer days.
Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are delicious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They support your immune system and promote healthy digestion.
Tomatoes
Juicy and versatile, tomatoes are a great source of vitamins C and K, potassium, and the antioxidant lycopene, which may help protect your skin from sun damage. Try them lightly roasted to release the lycopene, an antioxidant powerhouse.
Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and arugula are light and nutritious, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are perfect for salads, smoothies, and a side dish to keep you fresh and energized.
Cucumbers
Extremely hydrating and low in calories, cucumbers are rich in vitamins K and C, supporting hydration and skin health. Add them to salads or enjoy them as a crunchy snack.
