Best foods to eat in June

It's June! That means these fruits are the ones to be eating now: cherries, apricots, nectarines, plums, peaches, cantaloupe, watermelon, and all the berries. Corn and all sorts of various greens are good too. If you're into green smoothies, this is the time to be going hog-wild on them. I have yet to explore this territory. 

Eat melon on their own, eat cherries and oranges on a bed of Spring Mix for a great salad. Stay away from the peaches at Dominion right now. They're absolutely horrible, but the nectarines are to die for! Try to eat as many of these fruits as possible, for breakfast, throughout the day, for snacks, and then just have your usual lunch and dinner. It's always good to eat a bit of raw food to start the day. I try to go raw at least until lunch. If I have a big raw veggie salad for lunch, then I have gone raw until dinner, which is even better. If you're still hungry, top it off with nuts and seeds. They'll take the edge off perfectly.

Remember, we want to be locavores. Whenever you can, eat seasonally, eat locally. Check out Wise Bread for a list of seasonal foods. Clean Food is an amazing cookbook, probably our favorite. It's written by Terry Walters who's also a nutritionist. The menus are ordered by season, which I absolutely love. And it's all vegan!
