Oh honey, let’s talk summer and the best season for fresh produce, aka Superfruits heaven. While “Superfruits” might not be an official scientific category, nutritionists rave about these nutrient-packed delights. They do wonders like boosting your immune system, supporting gut health, and more. Plus, they’re versatile—think blueberries and tomatoes in everything from muffins to marinara. Ready to stock up? Let’s dive into the must-have summer Superfruits, according to our fave dietitians.

Cherries Darling, nothing says summer like ripe cherries. “Perfect for poolside snacking and easy to take on the go,” gushes Joanna Gregg, RD at MyFitnessPal. These little gems are bursting with antioxidants to combat inflammation and cell damage. High in potassium and vitamin C, they’re also low on the glycemic index. Jennifer House MSc, RD, founder of First Step Nutrition, notes that they’re packed with polyphenols to fight metabolic syndrome and anthocyanins for brain health and cancer prevention. Yes, queen!

Sweet Corn Can you even call it summer without corn? This golden beauty is a superfood, too. “It’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber,” says Gregg. One medium ear has 2 grams of fiber, which acts as prebiotics for gut health. Yes, fiber is fabulous.

Tomatoes Tomatoes, darling, are your summer BFF. “Their bright red color comes from lycopene, an antioxidant powerhouse reducing inflammation and potentially improving conditions like diabetes, skin and bone diseases, heart issues, and even cancer,” explains Lauren Fleck, MS, RD. Lutein in tomatoes is also great for eye health and cognitive function. Gregg loves them fresh in salads, sandwiches, or as a snack. And honey, they’re mostly water, so they help keep you hydrated in the summer heat.

Mint Mint is the queen of summer herbs. “It’s packed with vitamin A and antioxidants to protect against cell damage,” says Fleck. Menthol, a key component, can help with mild digestive issues. Fleck recommends adding mint to fruit salads, carbonated water, or brewing it for tea. A little mint in your life never hurt anyone.

Mushrooms Mushrooms are your new summer staple. “They’re one of the few food sources of vitamin D,” says House. Low in calories but high in nutrients, they contain 12 vitamins and minerals. They’re also a rare source of ergothioneine, an antioxidant that supports brain health. Grill some portobello mushrooms as a burger bun alternative. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Greek Yogurt Greek yogurt is the protein powerhouse you need. “It’s satiating, helps with weight management, and maintains lean muscle mass,” says Syn. Packed with calcium for bone health and natural probiotics for digestion and immune support, it’s a summer must-have. Syn loves Chobani for its versatility—think dressings, dips, marinades, smoothies, and topping with fresh fruits like cherries. Delicious!

Pistachios Pistachios are the divas of the nut world. “One of the few plant-based complete proteins with 6 grams per serving,” says Syn. They’re loaded with healthy fats and fiber. A recent Cornell study found pistachios rival pomegranates, blueberries, and red wine in antioxidant levels. Yes, darling, they’re that fabulous.
