Soak Up the Savings with Warm Weather Favorites
BATAVIA, Ill., May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eat your way to a more healthful summer by adding colorful, fresh seasonal produce to everyday meals and outdoor celebrations with help from ALDI. Whether it's yellow seared pineapple on the grill or a bright pink smoothie by the pool, ALDI has all the must-haves for a summer of color at prices up to 50 percent* less than traditional grocers.
"The variety of colors you find in fruits and vegetables comes from the many different nutrients and antioxidants – all of which are extremely important to your health," said Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD. "I shop at ALDI for my produce because they offer top fruits and vegetables each week that are guaranteed fresh and offered at the lowest prices."
With these simple tips and recipes, entertaining with summer's fresh palate of colors has never been easier:
- Healthful Summer Living: Summer meals come to life with colorful ripe berries, tart citrus, sweet corn and much more. In addition to better-for-you brands, ALDI offers fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables to embrace the season, including organic and locally grown produce. The new SimplyNature line of foods offers a variety of organic items that can help you eat better, for less. ALDI style tip: Infuse your water with fresh fruit for a sweet, refreshing taste. Be sure to buy produce that's in season at the peak of freshness.
- A Toast to Summer: Enjoy a refreshing seasonal beverage from ALDI. Bright hues of lemonade squeezed from fresh lemons and sangria topped with apples, oranges and limes can double as centerpieces for backyard gatherings. ALDI style tip: Fill ice cube trays with lemon juice to add to your lemonade – this will help keep it from getting watered down as they melt.
- Fire Up the Grill: Turn up the sizzle with the new ALDI line of fresh USDA Choice meats – the perfect grilling companion to bright fruits and vegetables. ALDI style tip: Fruit on the grill is an easy way to enjoy a light dessert at the end of a meal. Stack pieces of pineapple, banana and apple on a skewer, cook until slight grill marks appear, drizzle with chocolate sauce and enjoy.
- Shades of Southern Flare: Turn your backyard BBQ into a southern fete with checkered tablecloths and the sweet and savory flavor of ALDI meat rubs and traditional side dishes, like sweet corn on the cob, inspired by the Deep South. ALDI style tip: Set the stage for a great buffet table by offering a variety of sauce choices, marinades and spices for everyone to enhance the flavor of their favorite burgers, ribs and steaks.
- Star Spangled Celebration: Show your loyalty for the red, white and blue with a batch of do-it-yourself pie pops or other star spangled treats from ALDI. ALDI style tip: Fill small jars with homemade jam made from ripe, red strawberries to give guests a festive favor to take home.
