Let’s talk about June—the month when your fridge should be looking like a rainbow and your kitchen starts smelling like something good is always happening. This is peak season for some of the most flavorful, vitamin-packed, feel-good produce you’ll find all year. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week, trying to eat cleaner without getting bored, or just want to keep your fridge looking like a Whole Foods ad, this list is for you.

Peaches

Soft, sweet, and just messy enough to remind you to slow down. A good peach doesn’t need much—slice it into salads, grill it for a side dish, or eat it over the sink like the grown-up you are. Pro tip: if it smells good, it is good.

Strawberries

These little red bombs are everywhere right now—and they’re at their best. Toss them in oatmeal, pair them with goat cheese and arugula for an easy salad flex, or just eat them by the handful straight out the container. No judgment.

Watermelon

A classic for a reason. Hydrating, refreshing, and a solid source of electrolytes—which matters when the summer heat hits and you’re sweating just thinking about going outside. Cube it, juice it, or let it chill in the fridge for when you need a cool-down snack.

Blueberries

High in antioxidants and low in nonsense. Perfect for smoothies, yogurt bowls, or a subtle flex in your Sunday pancakes. If you’ve been buying them year-round, now’s the time to remember what they’re supposed to taste like.

Blackberries

A little tart, a little sweet, and full of fiber. Blackberries are the underdog of the berry world—but throw a few in your salad or mix them into a vinaigrette and they’ll steal the show.

Plums

Plums don’t get enough shine, but they should. They’re juicy with just the right amount of tang. Slice one up with a little sea salt and chili powder and thank me later.

Spinach

Not everything in June has to be sweet. Spinach is still doing its thing—fresh, crisp, and begging to be sautéed, blended, or eaten raw in your favorite bowl setup. High in iron, low in drama.

What You Should Actually Do With All This

Just knowing what’s in season isn’t enough. You need a plan. And that’s where the Purple Rain Smoothie comes in.

This isn’t just a pretty drink for the ‘gram. It’s loaded with hydrating coconut water, organic summer fruits, and my Vital Spice blend—a mix of ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and other good-for-you ingredients that make this smoothie better for you than most sports drinks. Seriously, ditch the neon bottle and try this instead.

Final Word

Eating with the seasons isn’t about being trendy—it’s about making your meals work harder for you. The flavors hit different, the nutrients are at their peak, and your grocery bill might even thank you.

So next time you hit the store or your local farmer’s market, keep this list in your back pocket. And don’t forget to let that smoothie be your go-to summer reset.
