Are You Getting Fresh?

Friday July 10, 2009

Fresh fruit is always a diet staple, but it's especially refreshing in the summer -- it will cool you off when it's served up chilled and it helps you stay hydrated due to its high water content.

So, be sure to take advantage of the tasty fruits that are in-season this time of year:

  • blackberries
  • blueberries
  • cantaloupe
  • cherries
  • plums
  • raspberries

Your local farmer's market will be offering all these fruits at a great price throughout the month because July is when they are at their peak! Yum!
