SUMMER FUN

Summer is synonymous with luscious, sweet fruits. It is a magical time for green smoothies and also a great time to buy produce in bulk, when fruits are at their best quality and inexpensive at farmers markets. Freeze what you don’t use for later in the year, when there is limited produce available and you need some extra variety.

Summer fruits provide exactly what we need for those long, hot days. Not only are peaches, melons, berries, mangoes, grapes, and cucumbers cool and refreshing, they are also water-rich and hydrating. Eat your water! The inviting summer months make us more active and we need to get extra energy from our food. The balance of fiber and natural sugars in fruit provides a sustained release of energy, and the abundance of brightly colored fruits ensures we get plenty of antioxidants to supercharge each day!

Summer is also a great time for greens, as the warmth and sun spur rapid growth. Basil, borage, celery, dandelion, lamb’s-quarters, lettuce varieties, mint, parsley, purslane, strawberry leaves, and Swiss chard are classic summer greens that help to create a myriad of green smoothie combinations.
