There’s something about summer produce… 🌞
So fresh. So flavorful. So good for your gut, hormones, and energy!
Here are 5 seasonal standouts I recommend to my clients (and love myself!):🍓🥒🥬🍒🌱
🍓 Berries: Antioxidant-packed and low glycemic, berries are summer’s candy — without the blood sugar crash. They also feed good gut bacteria and support glowing skin.
👉 Add to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, or toss into a spinach salad!
🥒 Cucumbers: Hydrating, crunchy, and full of silica to support skin and joint health. Cucumbers also help cool inflammation — ideal in the heat and for gut repair.
👉 Dip in hummus, spiralize into salads, or infuse in lemon water.
🥬 Leafy Greens: Spinach, arugula, kale, and Swiss chard offer fiber, folate, and magnesium — nutrients your hormones and gut love.
👉 Sauté with olive oil + garlic, toss into smoothies, or layer into sandwiches.
🍒 Cherries: Tart cherries, especially, are known for reducing inflammation and supporting sleep (hello, melatonin!). They’re also great for blood sugar balance in small portions.
👉 Enjoy as a snack, or stir into chia pudding or Greek yogurt.
🌱 Sugar Snap Peas: High in fiber + plant protein, peas support digestion and steady energy. A great swap for more starchy carbs if you’re managing blood sugar or weight.
👉 Toss into grain bowls, stir-fries, or enjoy raw with tahini dip.
🌿 Eat seasonal. Feel your best.
These summer picks are loaded with nutrients your body actually uses to heal and thrive.
