Healthy Foods to Enjoy This Season

Eating well in season can be simple, affordable, and delicious. Fresh seasonal foods are full of flavor and can help you build balanced meals for yourself and your family.

Seasonal favorites to add to your plate

Load up on colorful fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, squash, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, carrots, and broccoli. These foods provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals while making meals more satisfying.

Build a balanced meal

• Choose a protein such as beans, lentils, eggs, chicken, fish, or tofu.

• Add whole grains like oats, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat bread.

• Include healthy fats from nuts, seeds, avocado, or olive oil.

• Keep water nearby and choose snacks such as fruit, yogurt, or vegetables with hummus.

Healthy eating does not have to be expensive or complicated. Start with one seasonal ingredient, plan a few simple meals, and make choices that work for your household. Small steps can make a meaningful difference.
