Fresh fruit does seem synonymous with summer, doesn’t it?  So let’s indulge while they’re in season and enjoy some health benefits too.  Here’s some refreshing and healthy drink and desert recipes to cool you down during the summer heat.
 
Watermelon – not only a wonderfully hydrating fruit but high in lycopene, which is beneficial for protecting against prostate cancer

Raspberries and oranges – 1 cup contains over 140% of our daily vitamin C requirements, powerful immune boosting fruits

Mango – rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that has been shown to fight free radicals, protecting your cells from damage which could lead to cancer
​
Peach – not only is it high in vitamin C but also vitamin A, which helps your immune system.  It is also a great source of potassium, which assists with blood pressure regulation
