The Internet has bred some super-serious nutritionists. I mean, these guys have thought of it all. After years and years of fad diets, the general public is starting to realize that it’s not about a quick magic pill or watching how much you eat.

It’s all about the ingredients. Fresh stuff is going to be more expensive than the alternative, but here are a few feel-good summer foods for you to try. 

Artisan Ice Pops 

Thought popsicles were unhealthy? Well think again. These treats will help you cool off while munching on delicious all natural ingredients. You can make these yogurt pops with any fruit under the sun.

Raspberry Avocado Salad 

Salads are one easy way to keep your nutrition active, with the summer-fresh fruits rocking your diet. But undoubtedly this summer the Avocado has taken the reigns as the fruit-champ and for a good reason. They are a great source of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. Stick a few slices of avocado on your salad and taste the difference.

Korean Meatballs 

Want something heartier? With these chicken meatballs you can’t really go wrong. With natural garlic and low sodium soy sauce this dish is high in protein. Add a bit of black pepper to the recipe. This will boost your antioxidants.

Coconut Sticky Rice

Rice is often thought of as a filler-food. But you can spice this food up by adding healthy broth. Coconut water has many incredible health benefits. It is very hydrating, fat-free, cholesterol-free and super-high in potassium.
