It has been so hot here lately! How is the weather where you are? This is a good reminder for all of us to stay hydrated, and watermelon is a delicious way to do that. Mangoes are also wonderful summer fruits, and bananas are a great option year-round here in the U.S. There are so many benefits to eating more fruit. I only shared three, but the list goes on! What benefits have you enjoyed from eating these fruits? Also, don’t forget — our Coffee with Marilyn call is coming up in just a few hours. I hope to see you there!

Papaya is not always the sweetest fruit by itself, but when you pair it with the right foods, it can be delicious. I like it mixed with yogurt and bananas, and it also goes well with watermelon, strawberries, coconut, and other fruits. It’s a great way to add more color, fiber, and nutrients to your day. I also love onions and red, yellow, or orange peppers. I usually skip green bell peppers because they are not fully ripe and have a stronger taste. Onions and colorful peppers add so much natural flavor to meals, and they can make simple dishes taste fresh, savory, and satisfying without needing a lot of extra ingredients. Peas are another great food to keep on hand because they are affordable, easy to use, and very versatile. You can add them to rice, soups, pasta, salads, casseroles, stir-fries, veggie bowls, and even mashed potatoes. They also add a little natural sweetness, fiber, plant-based protein, and color to your plate. Eating more peas is a simple, budget-friendly way to stretch meals, add nutrition, and make plant-based eating feel easy and doable. Small ingredients like peas, onions, peppers, and fruit can make a big difference when you’re trying to eat better one meal at a time.

"I'd love to go plant-based, but isn't it just too expensive?" It's probably the #1 myth I hear, and it stops so many people from making a change that could transform their health. So, I made a video to tackle this myth head-on. I'm sharing my simple "Shop This, Not That" strategy to show you how a plant-based grocery bill can actually be LOWER than what you're spending now. I'd love for you to watch and then come back here and share your answer to this question: What's ONE budget-friendly plant-based food that's ALWAYS in your grocery cart?
