Summer fruit is so delicious! But so many of them are full of the sugars that don't make our tummies as happy as possible. And that's the last thing you want as you're flying down and slip-and-slide! So here's a little info on the summer fruits that will keep your tummy happy (in moderation) and still let you enjoy all the sweetness of summer!! Along with a fun easy treat to make!
As a general rule, stay away from stone fruits, or fruits with a pit in the center (peach, plum, cherry, nectarine). This is the hardest thing for me personally, because these fruits are really only good during the summer. Berries are easy, because you only have to steer clear of blackberries and boysenberries. So feel free to do all the blueberry, strawberry, raspberry picking you like! Although you should avoid watermelon, but you can embrace cantaloupe and honeydew! If you live in an area where you can get tropical fruits, get excited! Pineapple, starfruit and passionfruit are all fair game! So although you may have to miss out on a few summer fruits, you may get an excuse to try some new ones.
Just something to keep in mind, all fruits are full of fiber and sugar, which isn't a bad thing. But if you shock your system with more than you typically have there could be... adverse events... Everything in moderation!
Now on to a sweet treat!

1. Cut and scoop the melon
