Summer is the perfect season to fuel your body with fresh, vibrant foods that not only taste great but also support energy, performance, and recovery. Whether you’re hitting the gym, enjoying outdoor activities, or simply trying to stay active in the heat, the right nutrition can make a real difference in how you feel. This month, we’re highlighting summer superfoods that keep you energised, help your muscles recover, and support overall wellness.
Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats, providing a natural boost to energy levels, supporting muscle recovery and repair, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and promoting hydration and overall wellbeing. By incorporating these foods into your daily meals and snacks, you can optimise both performance and recovery – without relying on processed energy bars or supplements.
