Summer is finally in full swing!

Time to change up your go-to foods for some light and bright flavors.

Phenomenally colorful foods are sprouting everywhere. Take a break from grocery runs and meal prepping, and let Thistle deliver fresh seasonal foods right to your door! From our Thai Mango Coconut Rice Bowl to our Eggplant Curry dinner, Thistle’s plant-based meals include all of summer’s freshest and tastiest ingredients.

Thistle’s Summer Menu Inspiration

  • Strawberries: Naturally high in Vitamin C and Lycopene, strawberries boost your immune system, give you energy, and are a fabulous antioxidant.
  • Blueberries: These berries are rich in Anthocyanin, a plant pigment with high antioxidant capacity, which is present in every blueberry.
  • Peaches: High levels of Vitamins C and A found in peaches help promote healthy and clear skin.
  • Watermelon: Despite being composed of mostly water, watermelon is full of vital nutrients as well, including Vitamins A, B6, and C!
  • Cherries: These guys are filled to the brim with melatonin, a natural compound that promotes better, more restful sleep.
  • Tomatoes: Notice your skin looking vibrant and youthful? The antioxidant, lycopene, found in tomatoes, helps rejuvenate skin.
  • Corn: This cereal grain is a low-glycemic carbohydrate with high amounts of fiber!
  • Green Beans: The chlorophyll in green beans can help reduce the carcinogenic effects of grilled or charred foods.
  • Thai Basil: An anise-liquorice-flavored variation on sweet basil promotes blood flow and is a great source of magnesium.
  • Mint: Methanol, that produces a cooling effect in mint, can help soothe an upset stomach any day.

My experience with Thistle has been fantastic. Now that I’m in my second week, I’m starting to really notice a difference in my energy levels, too. I don’t know how this is possible, but I haven’t been craving ice cream or sugar hardly at all… it’s like my brain has been rebooted!!” — Jenny Stumme

“It really takes out the stress of planning, shopping and cooking every meal. Plus, my toddler gets to enjoy a wide variety of vegetables and cuisines. He absolutely loves them! We feel healthy, light on our feet, and most of all, nourished.” — Dorothy Sebez
