Happy Seasonal Sunday!
This week, we’re celebrating plums—a deliciously juicy fruit that’s in season and ready to brighten up your meals! With their deep, vibrant colors and naturally sweet-tart flavor, plums are a must-have right now and you can easily find them in grocery stores, even in bulk at places like Costco.
Why You’ll Love Plums:
- Rich in Antioxidants: Great for overall health and glowing skin.
- High in Fiber: Supports digestion and gut health.
- Naturally Sweet & Juicy: A perfect alternative to processed sugars.
Ways to Enjoy Plums:
- Plum Sorbet: Blend frozen plums with a ripe banana for a creamier texture, making a refreshing and smooth frozen treat.
- In Salads: Slice them into green salads for a pop of sweetness.
- Baked or Roasted: Caramelize them for a rich, deep flavor.
Pro Tip: Ripening & Storing Plums
Let firm plums ripen on the counter, but be sure to place them stem-side down on a plate or platter, making sure they don’t touch each other to prevent bruising.
Plums are only here for a short time, so grab some while they’re at their peak!
I started out several 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.
