Summer in Southern California is a time for vibrant, sun-ripened produce that bursts with flavor and nutrition. From juicy berries to refreshing cucumbers, the region’s climate offers an array of seasonal ingredients that elevate any dish. At Deeply Nourished, we pride ourselves on showcasing the best of what summer has to offer, using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients in our seasonal menus.
Southern California's long, sunny days and moderate coastal climate provide the perfect conditions for an abundance of summer produce. Local farms are brimming with an array of fruits and vegetables that are perfect for the warm months.
Berries: Sweet, juicy strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are in full swing during the summer. These berries not only offer incredible flavor but are also packed with antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to any meal.
Stone Fruits: Peaches, nectarines, and plums shine in the summer heat. Their natural sweetness and vibrant color make them the perfect addition to summer salads, smoothies, and desserts.
Cucumbers & Tomatoes: Light and refreshing, cucumbers and tomatoes are quintessential summer produce. With their high water content, they help keep you hydrated, while adding a crisp, cool texture to dishes like salads and wraps.
Zucchini & Summer Squash: Versatile and mild in flavor, zucchini and summer squash thrive in the summer heat. Whether grilled, sautéed, or used in salads, they add a delightful crunch to any meal.
Bell Peppers & Chiles: Sweet bell peppers and spicy chiles come into their own during the summer months. Whether incorporated into salsas, grilled as a side dish, or tossed in a salad, these vegetables add color, flavor, and a kick of heat to our dishes.
At Deeply Nourished, we celebrate the essence of summer by incorporating these fresh, local ingredients into our weekly menu. Our team works closely with local farmers to ensure we are offering the best seasonal produce available in Southern California. Each week, our menu reflects the changing seasons, bringing in the freshest ingredients that align with our commitment to organic, gluten-free, and plant-based options.
For example, our Summer Citrus Salad combines locally grown oranges and grapefruits with refreshing cucumber and avocado, topped with a tangy lemon vinaigrette. It's a light, nutrient-dense dish that captures the essence of summer.
We also feature Stone Fruit Bowls, where we highlight the season's peaches, nectarines, and plums, paired with our house-made granola and plant-based yogurt for a refreshing breakfast or snack option.
Grilled Veggie Wraps are another summer favorite, featuring a medley of zucchini, bell peppers, and summer squash, all sourced from local farms. Wrapped in a gluten-free tortilla with hummus or tahini dressing, these wraps are both satisfying and light, perfect for hot summer days.
At Deeply Nourished, we believe in the power of seasonal eating, and summer produce is one of the best ways to stay connected to the earth and eat clean. By sourcing locally and eating seasonally, we ensure that every meal is packed with the freshest ingredients while supporting our local farmers and reducing our environmental footprint.
Seasonal produce is not just about flavor—it’s about nourishment. Fruits and vegetables that are grown locally and harvested in their peak season are packed with more nutrients and taste better than those that have traveled long distances. By focusing on summer produce, we create meals that are not only delicious but also provide you with the vitamins, minerals, and hydration your body needs during the warmer months.
By incorporating these vibrant, seasonal ingredients into our menu, Deeply Nourished offers a taste of Southern California that aligns with our commitment to organic, plant-based, and sustainable food. This summer, we invite you to experience the freshest flavors of the season through our carefully crafted meals that highlight the best of local produce.
