Summer is here! At Enjoy Pure Food + Drink, we love the season of sunshine, longer days, and an abundance of fresh, flavorful produce. Whether you’re planning an outdoor picnic, enjoying a refreshing summer salad, or simply snacking on something light, fresh summer fruits and vegetables offer the perfect balance of taste and nutrition.

Here are a few suggestions on what to keep an eye out for at your local farmers market and a few of our new menu items that complement the season.

Delight in These Juicy Summer Fruits

There’s about to be a bumper crop of berries over the next couple of months. Specifically, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. We use organic berries in many of our dishes. They’re the perfect ingredient in our famous smoothies and desserts.

One of our best smoothie sellers at Enjoy Pure Food + Drink is our Blueberry Brain Booster smoothie. It’s a yummy mix of blueberries, banana, almond milk, chia, flax, hemp, maple syrup, and cinnamon. It’s a great light meal or afternoon snack.

Our seasonal organic, cold-pressed juice,  Replenishzing, is a delicious and oh-so healthy blend of watermelon, cucumber, green apple, lemon, ginger, rose water, and a touch of sea salt. It’s so hydrating and can even  help with inflammation and anxiety.  

In just a few weeks, fresh lemons will be ripe and ready for picking right off the tree. Our house made lemonade is always a refreshing drink with any meal. It makes for a tart-astic respite on a humid Midwest day.

Fresh Veggies Are In Bountiful Supply

Vine-ripened tomatoes and out-of-the-ground cauliflower are seemingly everywhere these days now that warmer weather is upon us. Our light yet filling Countryside Bowl is the perfect combination of cauliflower rice, chicken, cilantro pesto, peas, topped with diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, cilantro, and microgreens. Even better? It’s both organic and gluten-free.

One of our favorite seasonal items is our gluten-free Roma Noodles entree. It’s teeming with brown rice fusilli pasta, chicken, marinara, spinach, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, parmesan, and cilantro pesto drizzle. It’s quickly become a staff favorite and a consistent go-to for our hungriest patrons.

At Enjoy Pure Food + Drink, we’re dedicated to providing you with some of the freshest, local produce in our recipes. Come enjoy the best flavors of summer with us! More importantly, what will you try first?
