Nourishing Cherries, Smoothies, and Cabbage for Seasonal Wellness

Celebrate homegrown wellness through local produce, like cherries, smoothies, and cabbage, and nourishing nutrition insights.

Aterra Nutrition’s philosophy of “Sustainable Nutrition for Lifelong Wellness™️” encourages joyful, sustainable eating habits, meaning you shouldn’t need a break from the way you nourish yourself. This approach includes embracing seasonal produce like cherries and cabbage, gardening with intention, and building balanced meals (and smoothies!) that feed both your body and your spirit.

Cherries

Planted mid-June to mid-July, cherries are more than just delicious—they’re packed with fiber and powerful antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E. Their sweet or tart punch makes them perfect for smoothie bowls, fresh oatmeal toppings, or chilled salad additions.

Cabbage

Meanwhile, cabbage brings crunch and versatility, ideal for nutrient-rich meals beyond salad. It's a great source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, and folate. Steamed, sautéed, or even blended into veggie-packed smoothies for a subtle fiber boost, cabbage proves it has range.

Smoothies

If you’d rather sip your way through local produce, smoothies are a year-round win.

Frozen cherries and shredded cabbage (yes, really!) can make surprisingly delicious additions to your blender lineup, especially when paired with citrus, banana, or a splash of kefir.

Both cherries and cabbage are available at local food markets in Frederick. Stop by to stock up and spark your smoothie inspiration.
