Top 5 Radiant Recipes for This Summer!

Summer means more fresh fruit, vegetables, and time to experiment with new recipes! Here are a few amazing recipes to add to your radiant repertoire:

1. Summer Medley Salad with Fresh Corn Dressing

   Perfect to throw together for a cook-out or a quick picnic! This recipe goes great with burgers for the 4th of July.

2. Selena Gomez’s Favorite Chicken Dinner

   I love this recipe for a stormy summer night in. Throw on a comfort TV show or movie and enjoy!

3. Lemon Chia Seed Blueberry Superhero Muffins

   These are amazing for breakfast on the go. With protein from the almond flour and chia seeds, fiber from the oats and fruit, and healthy fats from the coconut oil the this recipe is packed full of nutrition! Plus, most of the ingredients are easy to have on hand.

4. Tropical Oatmeal Smoothie

   This is great to sip on pool-side when the heat is starting to settle in. I love the tropical flavors! So refreshing!

5. S’mores Cookie Bars

   I love these for a night under the stars. If you are not handy with a fire pit or grill, these s’more cookie bars do just the trick for that sweet treat craving! Plus, they are a lot less messy for the little ones!

We believe that all foods can fit into a well-balanced diet. While the diet culture talk can get loud (especially in the summer), try to remember that food is meant to nourish both our bodies and souls! Enjoy spending time with others and don’t be afraid to try new things!
