What You Should Actually Be Eating This May
Let’s cut through the noise—May is that month. Spring is still doing its thing, summer is on the horizon, and your produce aisle is finally giving what it’s supposed to give. If you’ve been sleepwalking through the grocery store grabbing the same bag of baby spinach and a questionable banana, it’s time to wake up. There’s a fresh lineup in season, and it’s full of flavor, nutrients, and straight-up glow-up energy.
Here’s what you want to load up on this month—and how to actually use it before it starts dying a slow, mushy death in the back of your fridge.
1. Strawberries
Bright, juicy, and unapologetically sweet. Strawberries in May are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants—perfect for snacking or slicing into yogurt.
2. Blueberries
You ever notice how blueberries in May don’t taste like sadness? That’s because they’re actually in season. Great for smoothies, oatmeal, or eating by the handful.
3. Blackberries
Underrated but bold, blackberries are rich in fiber and flavor. Perfect for sauces, vinaigrettes, or desserts with a little edge.
4. Raspberries
Soft, tart, and gone in seconds. These are the kind of berries you snack on straight out the fridge—no regrets. They also work beautifully in smoothies and breakfast bowls.
5. Pineapple
May pineapple is peak pineapple. Sweet, acidic, and loaded with bromelain—a digestive enzyme that also kicks inflammation to the curb. Grill it, blend it, or just eat it raw.
6. Avocado
Technically a fruit. Emotionally a lifestyle. Creamy and full of healthy fats, ripe May avocados are smooth, flavorful, and reliable—unlike that one ex.
7. Spinach
Packed with iron and vitamins, spinach is a true utility player. Throw it in eggs, pasta, or sneak it into smoothies. It plays well with others.
8. Carrots
Sweet and crisp in May, carrots deserve more respect. Roast them, juice them, or shred into a salad. They’re more than just lunchbox filler.
