Hey,
Right now, Rainier cherries are at their peak, bursting with honeyed sweetness and a hint of tartness that only mid‑June can deliver.
These golden‑blush gems are perfect fresh or folded into both sweet and savory plant‑based creations. Here’s how to celebrate them today:
3 Quick Ways to Enjoy:
- Fresh & Simple: Pit and serve chilled with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Cherry Salsa: Dice with red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and lime. Perfect for tacos or grain bowls.
- Cherry‑Almond Oats: Stir pitted cherries into warm oats with almond butter and a dash of cinnamon.
Try pairing Rainier cherries with fresh mint or basil, a handful of almonds or pistachios or simply enjoy them fresh in fruit salads for a naturally sweet pop.
These cherries aren’t just a snack, they elevate everything they touch. Have a favorite Rainier cherry recipe? Hit reply and let me know!
Wishing you a sweet, sun‑kissed Sunday.

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
