Healthy Summer Foods

“5 Healthy Summer Foods”
These easy dishes can round out your summer meals deliciously.

Summer is the perfect time to brush up on your healthy eating habits. Grocery stores and farmers markets carry an abundance of fruits and vegetables packed with good-for-you nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. They’ll add color to your meals, and they’re so flavorful this time of year that it doesn’t take much preparation to turn them into a tasty main dish or snack. We’ve got quick serving suggestions for making the most of five of the best seasonal produce stars.

Grilled Fruits & Vegetables

You can grill almost any type of produce—even lettuce. Grilling caramelizes the sugars in fruits and veggies, bringing out their sweetness.

Try it: Make kebabs by threading skewers with vegetables. Grilled nectarines, peaches, and plums are tasty and a healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Slice them in half, remove the pit, and grill, cut side down. Serve alone or with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Beans & Corn

This duo is high in fiber, which can help you manage cholesterol and blood sugar, and has a decent amount of protein.
