Summer is the time for salads, berries & coloured veggies! Here is a summer recipe from our resident Holisitc Nutritionist, Molly Lee! Yellow squash is a highly nutritious vegetable as it contains a ton of lutein and beta-carotene and is high in potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These delicious summer veggies are also high in fiber and excellent sources of vitamin A, C, boosting the immune system and optimizing digestion. *Simple recipe for grilling summer squash: Ingredients:
2 yellow squashes, sliced 1/2 ‘’ thick
2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
