Eating seasonal fruits for breakfast can make your meals healthier and tastier. These fruits are usually fresher, packed with nutrients, and often cost less. For example, berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are best in June. They are full of antioxidants, and just one cup can give you about 84% of the vitamin C you need for the day.

Nutritional Benefits

1. Vitamins and Minerals:

   • Apples are great because they have fiber (about 4% in a medium apple) and vitamin C.
   • Bananas are a good source of potassium (around 422 mg in one medium banana).

2. Antioxidants:

   • Seasonal fruits help protect your body. Studies show that blueberries can lower DNA damage by about 20%.

Meal Prep Ideas

• Smoothie Packs:

  • Mix seasonal fruits with spinach to make a healthy smoothie. A regular smoothie can give you about 25% of your daily fiber needs.

• Overnight Oats:

  • Toss in chopped seasonal fruits with rolled oats. One serving can offer around 10g of protein and 8g of fiber.

• Fruit Salad:

  • Make a colorful mix of assorted seasonal fruits. Just one cup can provide nearly 100% of your daily vitamin C.

By adding seasonal fruits to your breakfast, you're not only boosting nutrition, but you're also enjoying their delicious flavors at their best!
