Healthy Recipe of the Week

The school year has ended, the days are longer and temperatures are warming, summer is here!

☀️Today marks Summer Solstice ☀️

Let’s kick off the official start of summer with a hydrating and healthful dish!

Cucumbers can help you stay cool, hydrated, and beat the summer heat. While they are often considered a vegetable, cucumbers are actually a fruit. They contain about 95% water, which aids in digestion and helps regulate body temperature.
