Summer Days: 3 Reasons Being Raw in the Summer Rocks

You know one good thing about being a raw vegan is Summer time! Here are three of my favorite things about this season.

Beautiful Days

I truly enjoy the longer Summer days. Nothing can beat the sunset/evening hours…absolutely beautiful. This is the ideal time to be at the park, take a walk with your dogs, or gather with friends and family at backyard parties.

In the picture above, my cousin and I enjoyed the company of beautiful people at a friend’s party, shaded by avocado, lemon, and nectarine trees. Yup, it’s Summer!

The Fruit

All the heat means it is time for fruit bearing plants to flourish and Summer is always brings the best fruit of the year. Peaches, watermelon, nectarines, strawberries, mangoes, sweet peppers, and tomatoes are just some of the fruit I can get my hands on during the Summer season.

Being a high fruit raw vegan, you can see why Summer is the best time for ripe, raw, sweet ‘n juicy fruit!

I can’t forget the local farmers who post up at various local farmer’s markets and sell their delicious fruit, the stuff you will not find at the store. Things like fresh figs, cherries still on the branch, and organic strawberries are heaven in your mouth…lol!

The Beach (& being outdoors)

Summers in California are ideal for going to the beach, getting a nice tan, and enjoying all kinds of beautiful views.

There is something about being outside getting some sunshine that just goes hand-in-hand with a healthy raw foods lifestyle. For me it’s all about lifestyle not a “diet” and Summer is the best time for just goin’ outside!
