One of our favorite foods to eat in the summer is fruit. Fruit salads, fruit smoothies, or fruit by itself! In the summertime, fruit is good anywhere, anytime. What’s best about fruit in the summer is seasonal fruit. Eating fruit when it’s in season is important to ensure you’ll get the best tasting and highest quality fruit you can get. And it’s why fruits like berries tend to be more expensive and don’t taste nearly as good in the winter. If you’re a fellow fruit addict, we’ve compiled a list of what fruits you should definitely be eating in the summer.
Watermelon
Not only is water the best during the summer months, but its high water content will help keep you hydrated in the hot weather.
Oranges
Oranges are extra juicy and refreshing in the summer, but also rich in potassium which you lose when you sweat! A perfect post-workout snack.
Mango
Not only do mangoes taste delicious, but they’re also high in vitamin A, C, and D!
Melon
You can find cantaloupe and honeydew in just about every fruit salad during the summer.
Berries
Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries- you name it. All berries are great to eat in the summer and are a great source of fiber to keep you healthy all summer long.
Pineapple
Pineapples are tangy and delicious and the perfect summertime snack. But did you know pineapples also help with anti-inflammation?
Avocados
Technically, a fruit! Avocados are a staple in anyone’s household and taste good on top of toast, mixed into a smoothie, or baked into brownies. Avocados are also a fantastic source of healthy fats!
