We love when summer arrives because it indicates stone fruit season. Nectarines, peaches, cherries, apricots, plums, and pluots all belong to the stone fruit family. They have a limited season, so get your hands on them before it’s too late. You can incorporate them into smoothies, salads, dressings, chia puddings, desserts, and so much more. In the case of this nectarine nice cream, we only used three ingredients: nectarines, bananas, and homemade almond milk. Blend those ingredients together in a food processor for several minutes and then enjoy a refreshing, summery dessert that is 100% raw vegan.

This nice cream is deliciously creamy, almost like soft-serve. In order for it to be ready once you finish blending, make sure that you freeze the bananas and nectarines overnight. The best way to do this is to line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the nectarine and banana pieces across the sheet. Try to make sure that the pieces of fruit do not overlap, as that will cause clumping. You want the fruit separated, as that will make the blending process much easier.

Because there is not a lot of liquid, you may have to stop blending, scrape down the sides, and continue blending to fully incorporate the ingredients. Even if you have to do that a couple times, it’s perfectly fine. Let the food processor do what it can do before you get worried and start adding more liquid. The more liquid you add, the less like soft serve it will be. It also means that you will have to transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a couple hours, or until frozen to scoop and enjoy the nectarine nice cream.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you picture a summertime cookout? You probably think of hotdogs and hamburgers on a grill. Perhaps you think of potato salad, grilled corn, chips dips, and a whole table of other calorically-dense foods. We are here to tell you that grilling is not just for people who consume animal-based foods. Vegans have tons of options for grilling, and we’ll provide a ton of recipes in this article. 

What If You Do Not Have A Grill?

Many people cannot own a grill because of their living space. You can still grill at home even if you don’t have an outdoor space. Just get a grill pan! Ideally, choose a cast iron grill pan because they distribute heat evenly, are very durable, and are very affordable. If you plan to use a grill pan at home, here are a few tips to get the best results:

• Grease your grill pan by coating your pan with oil before you start cooking. That will help prevent things from sticking to it, but it will caramelize your food and leave grill marks, which is what you want.
• Turn up the heat, although this may vary from recipe to recipe. Generally speaking, you want to set your stove medium-high to high heat and adjust it as you go, so you don’t burn your food. 
• It can be very tempting to look at grill marks, but try to refrain from fussing with your food. The more you do, the more likely it is to stick or never develop any sort of char. Leave your food alone and flip it after the recipe tells you to do so. 
• Clean the pan while it’s hot because that is the easiest time to scrape up leftover charred bits. If you are using a cast iron grill pan, there are specific ways to clean it, so do your research and avoid using soap and water because that will damage the pan.

Mango strawberry sorbet is a pleasant, balanced frozen dessert that is a beautiful blend of the tropics. The sorbet is a vibrant color that is as inviting as its refreshing flavors. It is the perfect go-to treat for warmer spring weather. Each spoonful of this velvety sorbet melts gently on your tongue, leaving behind and sweetly tart flavor of strawberry mango goodness.

Should you not want to use mango, or if mangos are not in season in your area, you can swap them out for ripe peaches, nectarines, pineapple, or another fruit that yields a similar tropical flavor. You can also swap out the strawberries with other berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries, if you prefer those flavors. Those other berries also go great with mango! Once you have your blend, taste the mixture and adjust the ingredients as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, agave nectar, or even more strawberries or mango. Trust your taste buds!

Once you blend the ingredients together, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. If you pour the mixture into a shallow dish, it will freeze more quickly than if you pour it into a deeper dish. Cover the dish and place it in the freezer for about four to six hours, or overnight. Just leave it in there until it is frozen solid. You can stir the sorbet every couple hours with a fork to break up any ice crystals that form. That will yield the best texture. When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for five to 10 minutes. That will allow it to soften just enough to be perfectly scoopable.

Kale can be a tricky leafy green to enjoy if you are not the biggest leafy green lover. That is especially true if you try to use kale as a salad base instead of Romaine lettuce. One of the easiest entry points to the world of kale is the smoothie. Pair your kale with fruits in the smoothie to help distract your taste buds from the slightly bitter flavor. Another thing to remember when adding kale to your smoothies is to remove the thicker, fibrous stems, as they have an unpleasant flavor that nobody needs to enjoy.

Smoothies are another way to add more greens to your diet. Most people do not consume the recommended daily intake of greens, which offer integral nutrients, such as fiber, magnesium, folate, iron, and vitamins A, C, and K. Statistically, people who eat more leafy greens have better immune function, optimized digestion, and have a lower risk of heart disease. Due to their low calorie content, leafy greens make great additions to your weight loss diet.

This smoothie isn’t all about kale, though. Peaches are low in calories and contain numerous health-promoting compounds, minerals, and vitamins. Fresh peaches are great sources of beta-carotene, which is a form of provitamin A that the body converts to vitamin A after ingestion. Vitamin A has been known to offer protection from lung and oral cancers, and helps maintain healthy mucus membranes and skin. Plus, peaches provide lots of potassium, which helps regulate heart rate and blood pressure.

If you let summer end without making these creamy peach pops, then you didn’t fully live this summer. Peach popsicles are a great summer dessert for the entire family to enjoy. They utilize fresh peaches, which have a lovely natural sweetness and subtle tartness. Just make sure the peaches are not overripe, or else you may have some questionably flavored peach pops. Think of these like healthier versions of creamsicles, in that they are free of dyes, added sugars, and preservatives.

The homemade almond milk is the creamy element, so make sure that you have that prepped and ready to go before you start blending the peaches. You’ll also need to acquire popsicle molds if you don’t already own them. You may not know which molds to get, but we encourage you to buy the silicone molds. Some of these molds already have the included tops so that you do not have to purchase popsicle sticks. Plus, these molds do not crack when you try to remove the peach pops from them. Just run them under a little warm water and they’ll pop right out!

If you want to get a little fancy, feel free to add some fresh peach slices to the popsicle molds. That will add another level of flavor and texture to these already delicious peach pops. If you like this recipe and want to see more like it, make sure to leave a comment or shout out the recipe on social media. We love to see when people make the recipes we post!

Time is precious, no matter if you are a busy parent, grandparent, single adult, or young college student with pressing deadlines. When life keeps hurling tasks at you to complete, finding time to prepare and enjoy healthy foods can seem like an impossible feat. That’s because there is this notion that making a healthy dish requires a great deal of your time. Quite the opposite! There are many healthy meals that you can make in 15 minutes or less, just like this peach tomato basil salad.

This salad bursts with flavor and comes together in just 10 minutes. It is everything you want form a salad as well: juicy, acidic, sweet, herbaceous, and so much more. It’s perfect to enjoy as a refreshing, light lunch option, or dinner side. Because of how easy and quick it is to make, there is no excuse for you not to make it. Plus, the ingredients should make you want to gobble up this salad quicker than you can make it. The juicy, acidic tomatoes pair beautifully with the sweet peaches and aromatic basil. Toss everything together in a quick and easy dressing and you are ready to eat.

As a quick note, you want the peaches to be ripe, but not too ripe. If they are mushy, they can have an off-putting flavor and texture. Perfectly ripe peaches still retain some firmness and a hint of tartness, which beautifully complements the slightly sweet and acidic tomatoes. The sweet peaches also add a refreshing sweetness that balances the acidic dressing. And as a final note, the thinly sliced jalapeños are optional, but they bring a lovely heat to the sweetly tart salad.

Fresh peaches, sweetener, some lemon juice, and a jar…that’s all you need for this beautiful summer creation. This peach jam contains absolutely no preservatives or other chemical ingredients that you can’t pronounce, all of which are in store bought jams. You can gather as many peaches as you can and make a large batch, dividing it into smaller jars that you freeze and later defrost to enjoy throughout the year. Peaches don’t just have to be a summertime fruit to enjoy now that you have this recipe!

Maybe you are fortunate to have a peach tree in your yard. Perhaps you have a connection with a local farmer who has a plethora of peaches that he can’t get rid of fast enough. Whatever your peach source, guard it with your life! Obviously, you can enjoy peaches raw, but they can start to turn on you quickly. To prevent the fruit from going bad, you can make this simple peach jam. Peaches contain a good amount of sweetness, so you don’t need to add too much agave, but you can always adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of the jam.

The reason that you add lemons to the jam is because they contain natural pectin. This will help set the peach jam into the thick consistency that you know and love. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice and consider adding a little lemon zest for added flavor. For the peaches, just wash them, remove the pit, and chop them into smaller pieces. If your peaches do not have any bruises, feel free to leave the peel on. That said, you can always peel your peaches prior to making this jam. We hope you love it as much as we do!

When the sun is shining, you need a refreshing beverage, in addition to your water of course. You need to have water on you all day during these hot summer days, but you can enhance your hydration efforts, while delivering some much needed nutrients and electrolytes to your body, with this peach mango agua fresca. What is an agua fresca, you ask? The literal translation means “fresh water,” and it is a light, non-alcoholic beverage popular in Mexico and Central America.

Traditionally, an agua fresca blends fresh fruit with water and some sort of sweetener, typically a lot of sugar, and maybe a hint of lime juice, depending on the recipe. What separates this agua fresca recipe from the others is that it does not contain an entire bucket of sugar. The natural sweetness from the peaches is all you need, but you can add the optional agave nectar if the beverage is not sweet enough for your liking. You may also prefer the agave nectar if the lime you use has a little extra zing or zest to it, meaning it is tarter than you expect.

Unlike other juicing recipes, this one does not require a juicer. Blend everything together in a blender until it is very smooth and you no longer see any bits of peach or ginger. To serve, you have to pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag to avoid taking large gulps of peachy ginger pulp.

There is nothing wrong with slicing up a peach and enjoying it as a snack. You can freeze the slices and add them to smoothies or add fresh peaches to summer fruit salads. All of that sounds perfect, but sometimes you have to think outside the box to celebrate the majestic peach during the height of its season. When you roast peaches, though, the natural sugars caramelize to create a delightful treat that surprises the taste buds in the best way possible. This is truly a way to transform a beautiful fruit into a warm, healthy dessert that everyone can enjoy.

If you have never experienced the wonder of roasted peaches, you are in for a real treat. The flavor seems to intensify with each bite, delivering a sweet and almost savory dessert. You can serve them on their own or with a fresh scoop of vegan ice cream. The refreshing chill of a fresh scoop of ice cream is the perfect match for the succulent roasted peach that you serve warm. If you are not a dessert person, consider serving roasted peaches as a breakfast or brunch side. In fact, they make quite an elegant addition to your breakfast or brunch spread.

Roasting peaches is a very straightforward process that you will surely master the first time you make the recipe. Once you do it, you will want to make the recipe again and again, each time putting your own flavor or spin on the dish. Like anything, practice makes perfect, but you can make this dish whether you are master chef or novice cook. Just make sure you do one thing for us: enjoy this recipe!

Get ready to enjoy a refreshing peach salsa that as visibly stunning as it is flavorful. It’s a unique take on the classic pico de gallo, combining the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with classic zesty, tangy, spicy salsa ingredients. Made with freshly diced peaches, this salsa incorporates red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato, and lime juice, creating a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness, heat, and acidity. The result is a bright and inviting dip that enhances a variety of dishes.

The texture of this peach salsa is lively and appealing, offering juicy, tender peach cubes that provide a punch of natural sweetness with every bite. The addition of crunchy elements like diced red onion and crisp cilantro adds contrast, while the jalapeño brings a slight kick that elevates the overall flavor profile. Not a huge fan of spice? You can omit the jalapeño, or tame the spice by removing the seeds before dicing it up. Lime juice not only adds acidity, but also helps to bring out the freshness of the ingredients, making the salsa especially vibrant and lively. It also works to reduce that allium flavor in the onion.

This salsa is perfect for summertime gatherings or any occasion that calls for a light, refreshing appetizer. Not only is it incredibly versatile, but it is also easy to prepare. The sweet and spicy notes make it a delightful accompaniment for those seeking a fresh, fruity twist. Don’t be afraid to just dive in and treat it as the delicious dip it is!
