Whoopee for Fresh Fruits & Veggies Month!
June is a lovely month in every way–warm, caressing temperatures, golden sunshine, longer days, the early promise of summer. Among the wonders of June are the abundance of fresh fruit & vegetables at their peak, so it is no surprise that it is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month!
So seize the day — or more literally, the month — to revel in this bounty, boost your nutrition, improve your health, and protect against free radicals, by adding more more fruits and vegetables to your diet.
How about trying one of these ways?
- It’s never to early: add fresh berries, bananas, or peaches to your morning cereal, toast, or yogurt.
- Crisp up a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato slices.
- Keep fresh veggies and fruits sliced up in the refrigerator to grab for an easy, healthy snack.
- Hit your local farmer’s market for the freshest produce.
- Dessert anyone? Fruits are naturally sweet, making them an excellent dessert option.
