Seasonal eating is an inspiring way to get in tune with the seasons, balance your energy and feel more alive no matter what part of the year it is. Foods that grow seasonally are often more affordable because they’re close to home, and on top of supporting local farmers, seasonal foods are often also more nutrient dense too.
This list is based on what grows seasonally in Canada and many other parts of North America. Do a quick search online if you’re curious what grows locally in your area. Here are 9 summer foods you can enjoy on their own or in delicious detox recipes, simple green smoothies and weight loss smoothies.
