First Taste of Summer

Eat this dessert now

Summer’s right around the corner, which means more fruit! Put it to good use by making fruit salad. It makes a great post-barbecue dessert — and good breakfast leftovers (mix it into yogurt) for the next few days. This berry fruit salad recipe packs a nutrition punch: It’s also chock full of antioxidants and phytochemicals, which help fight cancer, heart disease, and age-related eye damage. Plus, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries have the highest fibercontent of all fruits. Not a fan of berries? Feel free to substitute whatever fruits you like; mangos, kiwis, apples, bananas, and pineapples all make great additions. 

If you’re feeling a bit lazy, buy a bag of frozen mixed berries or fruits and defrost them overnight in the fridge. They’ll taste pretty close to the real thing — and be just as nutritious — without all that chopping.
