by Mom It Forward on June 26th, 2013 | 18 Comments »

The steaks are grilling, the cheese is melting on burgers, and the kids are filled with excitement. However, grilled meats aren’t the only thing to get excited about this summer. There’s an array of side dishes, drinks, and desserts that need to be made but how do you avoid unhealthy foods?

Dandy Fresh Produce is making sure that your event filled summer is full of delicious, fresh produce. Incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables this summer doesn’t mean extra time in the kitchen for mom and dad. Adding fresh fruits and vegetables is fun, easy, and delicious. Here are a few tips for a healthy and fun summer:

Cut up celery or peel an orange for healthy on-the-go snacking
Add vegetables to the grill; even your favorite fruit can be added
Use fruit to flavor summer drinks
Offer fruit desserts
Involve all colors in your meals
