A guide to melons from @sprouts πŸ‰ It’s definitely melon season! β˜€οΈ

Melons are cooling, hydrating, and cleansing, and they provide an abundance of nutrients and fiber. They are very easy to digest, which means that they should be eaten alone so that they don’t can interfere with the digestion of other foods. First thing in the morning is ideal! 🍈

Figs are in season! πŸ’œ They are amazing nutritional powerhouses, containing minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and natural sweetness. Eat them fresh as they are, add them to smoothies or salads, or use them in desserts.

Summer fruits! They are abundant – we are so fortunate in our society to have access to such a wide variety of fresh fruits. Take advantage of as many as you can. 🫐 Berries are among the most nutritious of all foods. πŸ‡ Grapes are cleansing and hydrating. πŸ’ Cherries are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

Fruits are best eaten in the morning and by themselves, separate from other foods. The reason is that they digest more quickly than other foods, and when they are combined with foods that take longer to digest, they ferment and impede digestion. πŸ‰

Morning is a natural cleansing time for the body, and fruits are the best cleansers of all foods! β˜€οΈ

β€œWinter” or β€œhard” squashes from @wheatsville 🧑
These squashes are available all year round but are called winter squashes because they can last all winter long and provide hearty sustenance for cold weather. They provide satisfying complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and a plethora of antioxidants and other nutrients. Plenty of protein too!

Each variety has its own flavor and texture. They can be baked, steamed, or added to soups and stews. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

@bluezoneskitchen frozen meals at @heb πŸ‘πŸΌ

It’s always better to cook fresh meals, but in a pinch it’s great to have nutritious options ready to go!

@heb has a great selection of beans at very good prices. A pound of beans (for under $2 in most cases) can easily serve a family of four for a meal or two. Seasonings can be simple – onion, garlic, tomatoes, maybe add some peppers or celery, whatever you like.

Beans are one of the best choices for complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy and stamina for hours! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Organic brown rice from @heb ! Rice is naturally β€œbrownβ€œ – meaning whole. It has the nutrients and fiber that naturally come with the grain, helping to digest the starch (the white part) and giving the body the nutrients and fiber it needs. What a great price too!
