Fruit, Garden, Food, Harvest, Sweet Corn

There are tons of ways to incorporate healthy nutritious super foods into your diet this summer and Recipe4Living can show you how! 

This summer, stock your fridge these seven must-have foods. Rich in a variety of nutrients, these all-star foods have a lot in common. They taste best in the warmer months, they’re as healthy as can be and they’re very, very good for you. 

1. Lemons – One lemon contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin C intake, which can strengthen bones. Lemon juice is also a natural antiseptic that can destroy harmful bacteria found in cuts. 

2. Beets – These pretty vegetables are a good source for vitamin C, fiber, Foliate and potassium. Load up your salads with beets every couple a days to start to feel their nutritious effects. 

3. Blueberries – Even if you only eat one cup of blueberries a day, you’ll still be getting plenty of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. Fresh throughout the summer, stock up on these super fruits. 

4. Bell Peppers – Vitamin A can be found in these mild peppers that go great with dips or in a freshly cut salad. Eat them raw or roast them on the grill, and make sure to try all the different varieties. 

5. Watermelon – Often called the perfect summer fruit, the health benefits of watermelon are still often overlooked. The truth is that it contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids plus the antioxidant lycopene. 

6. Iced Tea – Most summer drinks are made to cool you off. Those soft drinks and fruit juices are loaded with wasted calories, but instead of sipping on H20 all summer, stick to some fresh iced tea. It will provide you with loads of antioxidants. 

7. Corn – Grilling up some sweet corn is healthier than you think. One ear of sweet corn contains three grams of fiber, plus folate, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Plus it tastes fantastic!
