From immune boosting berries to beautiful green zucchinis, this seasonal produce guide is full of REAL FOOD and HEALTHY recipe ideas that will inspire you to eat fresh and seasonal throughout the month AUGUST.
I’m a healthy lifestyler and for me eating seasonally means eating healthy. Eating seasonal produce rewards me with many benefits – from savings in the family budget to high quality produce packed with nutrition. To make easier for you to plan your meals as well as make grocery list, I created seasonal produce GUIDE. It’s here to inspire you to eat healthy throughout the whole month.
Summer is in full swing, and there’s a variety of colorful fruits and veggies that you can enjoy. Beautiful berries, watermelons and cantaloupes colored everything in bright colors, while collard greens and zucchinis gave a market calming green tone.
