Summer signals strawberries, avocados, tomatoes and zucchini all being in season.

Eat with the seasons and buy locally. It’s not only environmentally friendly, but it ensures your body gets the freshest and tastiest produce. Fluctuating your eating habits year round so they're aligned with the seasons means you’re giving your body the ultimate variety of fruit and veggies it needs. Your body is more prone to dehydration in summer, which is why mother nature supplies succulent juicy produce in the warmer months.

Here’s a few super easy summer recipes to try with in season produce. All fresh, light, easy and super tasty. Best eaten while enjoying the sun* take them on a picnic in the park. Or invite some friends over for dinner on the terrace.
