Albany Herald | Summer snacks can be healthy as well as tasty

The following website gives you specific information on what produce is available during specific times of the year in Georgia:

Looking at this information, you will see that we are lucky to live in Georgia and have all of these fresh fruits and vegetables available. Summer is perfect for strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, raspberries, blackberries, cherries and, of course, the famous Georgia peach. All of these fruits just picked and cut up make a perfect fruit salad. But there are so many other things (healthy) that can be done with fresh fruit.

One of my favorite and healthiest is a fruit smoothie. Fruit smoothies are not only easy to do, but can be custom made to each person’s taste and likes. A quick and easy recipe that can be made any way you like it: 1 banana, 1 cup of fruit (any fruit that you like; blueberries, strawberries, peaches), ½ cup plain low-fat yogurt and ½ cup milk. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. This makes a single serving, so if you want more than one serving you need to increase the amounts.
