BE FIT FOR LIFE Fresh Food Season

'Tis the Season for Fresh Fruits and Veggies

One of the best parts of summer is the availability of locally grown fresh fruits and veggies! Great places the find them:

-the Lethbridge Farmer's Market on Saturdays at the Exhibition or Wednesdays in Festival Square

-local grocery stores like Urban Grocer, Save-On-Foods, Coaldale Food Market, London Road Market

-U-Pick strawerries are available at Broxburn, or saskatoons at Berg's Berries

-your garden!

Cooking with fresh ingredients make for delicious meals. Get the kids involved with picking the foods, trying them raw and then helping to prepare meals.

Fruit Breakfast - Add your favourite summer fruit to some yogurt. Sprinkle with oats, chia seeds and some chopped nuts.

Garden Greek Salad - Dice some tomatoes, chop some cucumbers, slice some sweet onion, spinkle in some feta cheese and olives if you like them. Splash in a little red wind vinegar and olive oil, mix and enjoy!

Garden Veggie Pasta - Lightly saute your favourite veggies wih some minced garlic, salt and pepper. Toss with cooked pasta, 1/2 cup of reserved pasta cooking water, salt and pepper. Add fresh herbs of your choice, some canned fish or beans and top with some grated cheese.
