Healthy summer dinners to make this year

Unlike January, when it’s likely comfort food you’re craving, summer is a great time for a health kick. There’s so much seasonal produce to enjoy, from fresh berries and the first spears of tender asparagus to juicy stone fruit and vibrant vegetables, so eating your greens (and pinks, purples and yellows) is far from a chore. Our appetites naturally lean towards healthier dishes, whether it’s Mediterranean-style recipes, plant-packed salads, fish or lean protein.

• Stay hydrated. Longer sunshine hours means keeping your water intake topped up is more important than ever.

• Take advantage of the longer sunshine hours by taking a quick post-dinner walk or getting outside on your lunch break.

• Shop seasonally. Our Foodhalls are full of carefully sourced seasonal produce right now, making it easier and tastier to eat well.

• Find the joy. Whether it’s eating outside, connecting with family and friends or even enjoying the odd glass of rosé and ice cream, healthy eating is all about balance and embracing the joy in food.
