Your Guide to Sweet Summer Refreshment

HOW TO PICK THE

PERFECT WATERMELON

With the heat of summer in full swing, there’s nothing more refreshing than a juicy, crisp watermelon. July, which happens to be National Watermelon Month, is the perfect time to enjoy this iconic fruit, but how do you know you’re picking the best one at the store? Follow these expert tips to ensure that every watermelon you buy is sweet, juicy, and absolutely perfect for your summer picnics, BBQs, or just a cool treat on a hot day.

1. Look for the Sugar Spot

A great watermelon starts with its skin. While you’re browsing, make sure to look for a watermelon that has a deep green color with a slightly rough, waxy texture. The shape should be symmetrical, with no obvious indentations or flat sides. But here’s a fun tip: turn the melon over and look for the sugar spot, or "field spot." This is where the watermelon rested on the ground as it ripened, and a nice yellow or creamy spot usually means the watermelon was ripened in the field—this often translates to a sweeter, more flavorful melon.

2. Tap the "Thump Test"

One of the most reliable tricks to test the ripeness of a watermelon is by tapping it. When you tap the melon, it should produce a deep, hollow sound. This indicates that there’s a lot of water content inside, meaning it’s likely juicy and ready to eat. A dull, flat sound can mean the melon is overripe or under-ripe, so trust your ears on this one!

3. Size Matters, But Don’t Overthink It

Watermelons come in all shapes and sizes, but bigger doesn’t always mean better. Generally, a watermelon that feels heavy for its size is a good sign—it’s packed with water, meaning it’s probably full of juicy sweetness. Avoid melons that feel light for their size, as they may be overripe or dry inside.

4. Check for the Right Shape

Most watermelons are round or oval, but symmetry is key when choosing the perfect one. Avoid melons with flat sides or areas that seem squished. An unevenly shaped melon could indicate it didn’t ripen properly, which means it might lack that perfect sweetness.

5. The Tail Telltale

If you see a little tail (or stem) sticking out from the watermelon, check how dry it is. A fresh, green stem means the watermelon was recently harvested, and it may not be as ripe as one with a dry, brown stem. If the tail is completely dry, it indicates the watermelon is likely fully ripe.

6. Go for In-Season

Watermelons are best when they’re in season, and July is the peak time for the best watermelons, resulting in better flavor and texture.

Enjoying Watermelon All Month Long

Watermelon is one of those summer fruits that you’ll find at nearly every cookout, picnic, and family gathering. And with July being National Watermelon Month, there’s no better time to embrace this juicy fruit in all its glory. Whether you’re enjoying it on its own, mixing it into a fresh salad, or even blending it into a smoothie, watermelon is a must-have for your summer menu.

So, next time you're at the store or market, use these simple tricks to pick the perfect watermelon, and enjoy the ultimate summer treat.

A Fresh, Tropical Twist

TRY THIS AVOCADO AND MANGO SALSA

Avocados and mangos are two of the most beloved fruits, each bursting with flavor and nutritional benefits. When combined, they create a refreshing, vibrant salsa that’s perfect for everything from chips to grilled meats to tacos. Celebrate National Avocado Day (July 31st) with this unique, tropical-inspired recipe that’s sure to become a summer favorite!

Avocado and Mango Salsa with Cilantro Lime Dressing

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 ripe organic avocados, diced

• 1 ripe organic mango, peeled and diced

• 1 small red onion, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1 small jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped (optional for heat)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare the Salsa: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced avocado, diced mango, chopped red onion, and cilantro. If you’re adding a bit of heat, toss in the finely chopped jalapeño. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the avocado and mango stay intact and don’t become too mushy.

2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. This simple dressing will bring all the ingredients together with a zesty, slightly sweet finish.

3. Toss and Serve: Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the avocado-mango mixture and gently toss to combine. If you like, add in some halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and extra flavor. Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips as a snack, or spoon it over grilled chicken, fish, or tacos for a refreshing twist.

4. Optional Garnish: For an extra layer of flavor and presentation, sprinkle with a few more fresh cilantro leaves, a dash of lime zest, or a light sprinkle of sea salt.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Tacos: Spoon the salsa over grilled shrimp, chicken, or even roasted veggies for a tropical taco topping.

Grilled Meats: Serve it alongside grilled fish or steak for a fresh, light contrast to rich flavors.

Chips and Dips: Perfect as a dip for tortilla chips or pita chips for an easy and flavorful appetizer.

Salads: Add it to a simple green salad or use it as a topping for a grain bowl for a burst of flavor.

So, grab those ripe avocados and mangos, and treat yourself to a vibrant and refreshing salsa that’s perfect for summer gatherings, light meals, or a snack. Whether you pair it with chips or use it as a topping for tacos, this Avocado and Mango Salsa is a fun and delicious way to celebrate National Avocado Day. Enjoy!

Balancing Your Summer Plate

A GUIDE TO NUTRIENT-DENSE MEALS

Summer is the season for vibrant colors, fresh ingredients, and outdoor gatherings. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, preparing a quick lunch, or enjoying a picnic, it’s the perfect time to make your meals as nutritious as they are delicious. With the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables, summer is the ideal time to embrace nutrientdense meals that fuel your body and keep you feeling your best all season long.

But how do you balance all those amazing flavors with the nutrients your body craves? It’s simpler than you think. With a few mindful choices, you can build a summer plate that’s not only satisfying but also packed with the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your health. Here’s your ultimate guide to creating a balanced, nutrient-dense summer plate that tastes as good as it feels.

START WITH FRESH VEGETABLES: THE FOUNDATION OF ANY BALANCED PLATE

Incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables is one of the easiest ways to add nutrients to your summer meals. Vegetables are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals like potassium, all of which can contribute to overall health. From leafy greens to crunchy cucumbers, summer offers a bounty of options.

Try These Summer Veggies:

• Leafy greens like spinach, arugula, and kale are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support immunity and promote healthy digestion.

• Tomatoes are full of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect against sun damage.

• Zucchini and cucumbers provide hydration and are low in calories, making them perfect for light summer salads.

Meal Idea: A simple summer veggie salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a light lemon vinaigrette offers a refreshing start to any meal. Add some grilled chicken or chickpeas for an extra protein boost.

ADD PROTEIN FOR SUSTAINED ENERGY

Protein is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and satiety. During the summer months, protein doesn’t have to come from heavy, hot meals. There are plenty of lighter, lean protein sources that pair perfectly with the season’s fresh produce.

Try These Protein-Rich Options:

•Grilled chicken or turkey: Lean poultry is a great source of protein and provides essential amino acids that support muscle health.

•Fish: Omega-3-rich fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines are perfect for summer. They help support heart health and brain function.

•Plant-based proteins: If you prefer plant-based options, try adding tofu, tempeh, or legumes (like lentils or chickpeas) to your meals. These are excellent sources of protein and fiber.

Meal Idea: A grilled salmon salad with a base of mixed greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers is both nutrient-dense and satisfying. Drizzle with a simple olive oil and lemon dressing for a light and refreshing touch.

INCLUDE WHOLE GRAINS FOR FIBER AND SUSTAINED ENERGY

Whole grains are a must when aiming for a balanced plate. Packed with fiber, they promote healthy digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and keep you feeling full longer. During summer, whole grains can be incorporated into salads, bowls, or as a side dish to complement grilled meats and vegetables.

Try These Whole Grains:

• Quinoa: This gluten-free grain is packed with protein and fiber and serves as a great base for salads or bowls.

• Farro: Rich in fiber and iron, farro adds a hearty texture to summer meals.

• Brown rice or wild rice: These grains are excellent for bulk, providing both fiber and essential minerals.

Meal Idea: A quinoa and chickpea salad with diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley, topped with a lemon-tahini dressing, offers a complete, nutrient-dense meal full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

BOOST WITH HEALTHY FATS

Healthy fats are crucial for supporting brain function, reducing inflammation, and promoting heart health. They’re also essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. The good news is that healthy fats can easily be added to your summer plate without compromising flavor.

Try These Healthy Fat Sources:

Avocado: A rich source of monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium, avocados help support heart health and can be used as a creamy addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a topping for grains.

Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds add crunch, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for reducing inflammation.

Olive oil: Opt for extra-virgin olive oil in dressings and as a drizzle over roasted vegetables. It’s rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Meal Idea: Add avocado slices and a handful of almonds to your salads or bowls for an extra dose of healthy fats and a satisfying crunch.

SWEETEN WITH FRESH FRUIT

Summer is synonymous with juicy, sweet fruits, and they provide a perfect balance to savory, nutrient-dense meals. Fruits are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration— especially important during the warmer months. They’re also a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without relying on processed sugars.

Try These Seasonal Fruits:

Watermelon: Hydrating and low in calories, watermelon is packed with vitamin C and antioxidants.

Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are high in fiber and antioxidants, perfect for boosting immune health.

Peaches: Juicy peaches are a source of vitamins A and C, which are essential for skin health and immune support.

Meal Idea: Add sliced peaches and a sprinkle of chia seeds to your salad or enjoy them with a dollop of Greek yogurt as a refreshing summer dessert.

HYDRATE WITH WATER AND HERBAL INFUSIONS

While hydration is important year-round, it’s especially crucial in the summer. Along with water, try infusing your drinks with fresh herbs, fruits, and even a splash of citrus to add flavor and nutrients. Hydration plays a key role in maintaining healthy digestion and energy levels.

Try These Hydrating Ingredients:

Cucumber: Infuse your water with slices of cucumber for a refreshing and hydrating twist.

Lemon or lime: Add a zesty citrus flavor to your water for a vitamin C boost.

Mint or basil: Fresh herbs like mint or basil can add a fragrant, cooling touch to your beverages.

Hydration Tip: Make a citrus-mint iced tea or simply infuse water with cucumber and lemon for a refreshing, nutrient-rich drink that keeps you hydrated all day long.

Building a nutrient-dense summer plate doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on fresh, whole foods like vibrant vegetables, lean proteins, fiber-rich grains, healthy fats, and seasonal fruits, you can easily create balanced meals that are satisfying and nourishing. These simple, nutrientpacked meals will leave you feeling energized, full of vitality, and ready to enjoy everything summer has to offer.

Supporting Your Summer Fitness FOODS TO FUEL

Summer is the perfect time to kick your fitness routine into high gear, whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a long run, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and biking. But to truly maximize your performance and recovery, the right nutrition is key. The foods you choose to fuel your workouts can make a significant difference in how your body feels during and after exercise.

YOUR WORKOUTS

To help you stay energized, recover faster, and optimize your workouts, we’ve put together a guide to the best foods that will support your fitness goals this summer. Whether you’re training for a race, working on building strength, or simply staying active, these nutrient-dense, delicious foods are the perfect fuel to keep you at the top of your game.

1. Complex Carbs: Your Workout Power Source

Carbohydrates are your body’s primary source of energy, especially during high-intensity workouts. But not all carbs are created equal. Opting for complex carbohydrates ensures you’re providing your body with slow-releasing energy that will fuel you throughout your entire workout.

Sweet Potatoes: Packed with vitamins A and C, sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbs that provide steady energy. Roasted, mashed, or grilled, they’re a versatile addition to any meal.

Oats: Start your day with a warm bowl of oatmeal before hitting your morning workout. The fiber in oats ensures you’ll feel full longer while providing your muscles with a slow, steady supply of fuel.

Quinoa: A complete protein and a high source of fiber, quinoa is an excellent choice to power your workouts. It’s a great base for salads, bowls, or as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.

Brown Rice: Brown rice is a fantastic carb option, providing both energy and fiber. It digests slowly and keeps blood sugar levels steady, which is essential for sustained energy during workouts.

2. Lean Proteins: Essential for Muscle Repair & Growth

After a workout, your body needs protein to repair and rebuild muscle tissue. Including lean sources of protein in your meals can help you recover quickly and build strength. Protein also helps keep you full longer, which is great for preventing hunger post-workout.

Mother’s 100% Grass-Fed Organic Beef: For those who eat red meat, organic grass-fed beef is an excellent source of protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. The leaner cuts, like sirloin steak, provide essential nutrients without the extra fat.

Sustainable Salmon: Rich in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, salmon supports heart health and helps reduce inflammation after a tough workout. Grilled or baked, it's the perfect post-exercise meal.

3.

Organic Poultry: Chicken and turkey are classic lean protein options that are easy to prepare and versatile. They can be grilled, roasted, or added to salads and grain bowls.

Plant-Based Proteins: For those who prefer plantbased diets, options like tempeh, lentils, chickpeas, and quinoa are excellent sources of protein. Pair them with whole grains for a complete amino acid profile.

Healthy Fats: Support Your Joints & Enhance Performance

Healthy fats are crucial for your body’s overall function, including hormone regulation, joint health, and energy production. They also help keep you satiated and aid in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Avocados: Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber. They help keep you full, are great for reducing inflammation, and are packed with potassium, which helps balance electrolytes lost during exercise.

Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are great sources of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Add them to smoothies, yogurt, or salads to boost your energy and support muscle repair.

Olive Oil: Rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, Mother’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is perfect for drizzling over salads or roasting vegetables. The anti-inflammatory properties of olive oil can help with post-workout recovery and muscle soreness.

4. Hydration: Keep Your Body Fueled and Refreshed

Hydration is key to every aspect of your workout routine. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, cramping, and decreased performance. Drinking water is crucial, but incorporating hydrating foods into your meals and snacks can also help you maintain proper fluid balance.

Cucumbers: With a water content of about 96%, cucumbers are incredibly hydrating. They also provide vitamins and antioxidants that support skin health, making them the perfect refreshing snack on a hot day.

Coconut Water: Naturally high in potassium, coconut water is an excellent way to hydrate and replenish electrolytes after a sweaty workout. It’s also lower in sugar compared to many sports drinks.

Watermelon: This sweet, hydrating fruit is full of water and antioxidants, especially lycopene, which helps combat exerciseinduced oxidative stress. Watermelon is great for replenishing fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat.

Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are packed with water and antioxidants. They not only hydrate but also provide anti-inflammatory benefits, which can help reduce muscle soreness.

5. Superfoods: Nutrient-Dense Additions to Boost Your Fitness Goals

Superfoods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support your body’s needs during both exercise and recovery. Adding a variety of superfoods to your diet ensures you’re getting the nutrients necessary to fuel your fitness journey.

Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and arugula are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, and iron— important nutrients for muscle function, bone health, and overall wellness. Add them to smoothies, salads, or wraps for an extra boost.

Chia Seeds: These tiny seeds are a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt to keep your energy levels stable throughout your workout.

6. Pre-Workout Snacks: Get the Energy You Need

Turmeric: Known for its antiinflammatory properties, turmeric is an excellent addition to your post-workout routine. Sprinkle it in smoothies or add it to your cooking to help reduce muscle soreness and promote recovery.

What you eat before a workout is just as important as what you consume afterward. A balanced preworkout snack should include both carbs for quick energy and protein for muscle support. Aim to eat 30–60 minutes before your workout for optimal performance.

Banana with Almond Butter:

The combination of natural sugars from the banana and healthy fats from almond butter provides a quick, sustainable energy source for your workout.

Greek Yogurt with Berries and Honey: Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, while the berries and honey provide fast-digesting carbs to fuel your workout.

Nourish Your Body, Power Your Performance

Whole Grain Toast

with Avocado: This combination of complex carbs and healthy fats will provide long-lasting energy and keep you feeling satisfied during your workout.

Supporting your summer fitness journey starts with what you eat. By incorporating a variety of nutrientdense foods into your diet—like lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats, and hydrating superfoods—you’ll be fueling your body for success. Whether you’re working on endurance, strength, or just staying active, the right nutrition will help you feel your best, recover faster, and maximize your workouts.

Before we dive into the ingredients, let’s talk tools. Grilling vegetables and plant-based proteins can require a bit of finesse. Here are a few grilling essentials that make plant-based grilling easier and more enjoyable:

Grill Basket: Ideal for small vegetables, tofu, or other plant-based proteins that might fall through the grill grates.

Grill Mat: A non-stick mat that’s great for delicate items like mushrooms or marinated veggies, ensuring they don’t stick to the grill.

Skewers: Perfect for threading vegetables, tempeh, or seitan. They allow for even cooking and are great for kebabs.

Basting Brush: For brushing plant-based marinades or oils onto your veggies and proteins to keep them juicy and flavorful.

The Power of Vegetables: Grilled to Perfection

The stars of a vegetarian and vegan grill are, of course, the vegetables. From smoky eggplants to charred peppers, grilling vegetables enhances their natural flavors and brings out a rich, smoky taste. Here are some top veggies to throw on the grill:

Corn on the Cob: A grill favorite, corn becomes tender and sweet when roasted over direct heat. Brush with a little olive oil or a dollop of vegan butter and sprinkle with sea salt for a perfect side.

Zucchini & Summer Squash: These vegetables are naturally packed with water, making them ideal for grilling. Slice them lengthwise and brush with a flavorful marinade or olive oil, then grill until tender and lightly charred.

Portobello Mushrooms: These meaty mushrooms make a fantastic burger alternative. Marinate them in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grill them until tender. They’re flavorful enough to stand alone or be served on a bun.

Bell Peppers & Onions: Their natural sweetness is enhanced by grilling, making them the perfect addition to any plant-based meal. Slice and grill them alongside other veggies for a vibrant, colorful skewer or to use as toppings for sandwiches and burgers.

Plant-Based Proteins: The Vegan & Vegetarian Grill Stars

When it comes to proteins, there are plenty of plant-based options that can be grilled to perfection. These foods are packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a satisfying choice for your grill.

Tofu: Tofu is incredibly versatile, but grilling it requires a bit of care to keep it from falling apart. Press your tofu to remove excess moisture, then marinate it in a tangy sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Grill it over medium heat until it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Seitan: Known as “wheat meat,” seitan has a chewy texture that mimics meat. It’s perfect for grilling and takes on marinades well. Try it as a substitute for traditional burgers or sausages.

Tempeh: Made from fermented soybeans, tempeh has a firmer texture than tofu, which makes it great for grilling. Marinate it with bold flavors like BBQ sauce or a spicy marinade, then grill until golden and crispy.

Vegan Sausages & Burgers: There are now many plant-based sausage and burger options available that are perfect for grilling. Made from a variety of ingredients like pea protein, mushrooms, and lentils, these options are packed with flavor and texture that rival their meat counterparts.

Flavorful Marinades & Sauces: The Secret to Delicious Grilling

What’s grilling without bold and flavorful marinades and sauces? The right marinade can elevate your plant-based ingredients and bring them to life. Try these ideas to enhance your veggie and protein grilling experience:

Marinade: A classic BBQ sauce with a smoky, tangy flavor works wonders on tempeh, tofu, and vegetables alike. Just make sure to choose a vegan BBQ sauce (many contain honey or other animal-based ingredients).

Spicy Sriracha-Lime: For a bit of heat, mix sriracha with lime juice, a touch of soy sauce, and agave nectar. It’s fantastic on grilled tofu or seitan.

and Herb Marinade: A refreshing, light marinade made with lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary will complement grilled vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, and asparagus.

Tahini Sauce: Creamy tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a bit of water make a delicious and decadent dressing that pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables, tofu, and tempeh.

Side Dishes to Round Out Your Vegan & Vegetarian BBQ

A great plant-based BBQ isn’t complete without the sides. Here are a few simple and delicious options that complement grilled dishes:

Grilled Avocado: Slice avocados in half, remove the pit, brush with olive oil, and grill until you get nice grill marks. Serve with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of salt for a perfect side dish or topping.

Vegan Coleslaw: A tangy, creamy coleslaw made with vegan mayo is a cool and crunchy complement to smoky grilled food.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes: Slice sweet potatoes into rounds, toss them in olive oil and spices, and grill them until tender. These make a naturally sweet and savory side dish.

Quinoa Salad: A refreshing quinoa salad with fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil adds a light and nutritious touch to your grill spread.

Desserts to End on a Sweet Note

Why stop at savory dishes when your grill can be a dessert powerhouse too? Try grilling fruit like pineapple, peaches, or watermelon for a naturally sweet, caramelized finish to your meal. Serve them with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or drizzle with a little agave syrup for an extra treat.

Grilling isn’t just about meat—it’s about flavor,

creativity, and enjoying the fresh ingredients of the season. By choosing organic, plantbased ingredients and experimenting with different marinades and grilling techniques, you can craft a delicious and satisfying vegetarian and vegan BBQ that everyone will love. So fire up the grill, gather your friends, and enjoy the wonderful flavors of a plant-powered summer cookout!

Grilling Essentials MUST-HAVE PANTRY STAPLES FOR SUMMER BBQS

As summer approaches and the scent of smoky barbecues fills the air, it’s time to fire up the grill and get cooking! Whether you’re a seasoned grilling pro or just getting started, having the right pantry essentials can make a world of difference when preparing for the perfect BBQ. From highquality meats to flavorful marinades and sauces, we’ve curated a list of must-have ingredients that will elevate your grilling game and keep your guests coming back for more.

Premium Meats: The Heart of Every BBQ

The foundation of any great BBQ is the meat, and nothing beats the taste of high-quality, responsibly sourced options. This summer, make sure to stock up on the finest cuts for the grill, such as Mother’s 100% Grass-Fed Organic & Wagyu Beef, Sustainable Salmon, and Organic Poultry. These meats not only taste incredible but are also better for the environment and your health.

Mother’s 100% Grass-Fed Organic & Wagyu Beef: Grassfed beef is not only a healthier choice, packed with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, but it also has a richer, more savory flavor that takes grilling to the next level. Mother’s grass-fed organic and wagyu beef is raised without hormones or antibiotics, offering a clean, ethical option for your BBQs. Whether you’re grilling juicy steaks, burgers, or kebabs, these cuts deliver superior taste and tenderness.

Sustainable Salmon: For those looking to add seafood to their BBQ spread, sustainable salmon is an excellent choice. Rich in heart-healthy omega-3s and protein, this fish grills beautifully, developing a smoky, charred flavor. Try grilling salmon fillets with a citrusy marinade or seasoning them with dill and garlic for a fresh, flavorful dish.

Organic Poultry: If chicken is more your style, be sure to opt for Mother’s organic poultry. These birds are raised without the use of synthetic hormones or antibiotics, giving you a cleaner, tastier product. Organic poultry can be grilled in a variety of ways - from juicy chicken thighs to flavor-packed chicken breasts. Pair them with a tangy marinade or dry rub for an unforgettable BBQ experience.

Pantry Staples for Flavorful Marinades & Sauces

Once you’ve got your high-quality proteins, it’s time to elevate their flavor with the right marinades and sauces. These pantry essentials will enhance the natural flavors of your meats, vegetables, and seafood, while adding a unique twist to every bite.

Olive Oil & Vinegar: A good-quality olive oil is essential for marinades. Mother’s has an excellent Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It can help tenderize proteins. Combine it with balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar for a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. A simple marinade of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs can transform any protein into a flavorful masterpiece.

Soy Sauce & Tamari: For an umami-packed punch, soy sauce or tamari (a gluten-free option) is perfect for marinating meats like beef, poultry, and fish. Add a bit of brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for an Asian-inspired glaze that will delight your taste buds.

Mustard: Whether you’re grilling sausages or marinating chicken, mustard adds a delightful tang and depth of flavor. Dijon or whole-grain mustard works well for savory marinades, while yellow mustard adds that classic BBQ sauce tang.

BBQ Sauce: A classic choice for summer grilling, BBQ sauce brings smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors to any meat. Look for a vegan or organic BBQ sauce to complement your sustainable, high-quality meats, or make your own using a combination of ketchup, molasses, apple cider vinegar, and spices.

Lemon, Lime, & Fresh Herbs: Citrus juices and fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil add a fresh, vibrant burst of flavor. Try lemon and lime zest in your marinade for a citrusy kick or sprinkle fresh herbs over your grilled meats just before serving for a pop of brightness.

Grill-Friendly Vegetables & Sides

A great BBQ isn’t just about the meat—it’s also about the sides that bring everything together. Grilled vegetables and fresh salads are the perfect complement to your main dishes, offering a balance of textures and flavors.

Grilled Veggies: Organic veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and corn are natural grill stars. Brush them with Mother’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, season with salt, pepper, and herbs, and grill until tender with beautiful char marks. For extra flavor, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Potato Salad: Another BBQ staple, potato salad can be made with organic potatoes and a tangy mustard-based dressing. Add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an added layer of flavor.

Coleslaw: Creamy, crunchy coleslaw made with organic cabbage, carrots, and a vegan mayo dressing is a classic BBQ side. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats and adds a refreshing contrast to smoky flavors.

Grilled Fruit: Don’t forget dessert! Grilled organic fruit such as pineapple, peaches, or watermelon takes on a smoky sweetness when cooked on the grill. Serve them as a refreshing side dish or drizzle with agave syrup and top with coconut cream for a naturally sweet treat.

Beverages: Stay Cool & Refreshed

Summer BBQs wouldn’t be complete without refreshing drinks to keep you and your guests cool. Stock your pantry with a selection of ice-cold beverages:

Iced Tea & Lemonade: These classic drinks are easy to make and perfect for a hot summer day. Add fresh mint or sliced fruit to jazz them up and make them extra refreshing.

Craft Beer & Organic Wines: For a more adult-friendly option, craft beers and organic wines pair beautifully with grilled meats. Mother’s has a wide selection to choose from too. Pick a crisp lager or pale ale for a refreshing beer option, or opt for a light, fruity white wine to complement your grilled seafood.

Final Touches: Grilling Garnishes

The finishing touches are just as important as the main course. Make sure your pantry is stocked with these essential garnishes to add flavor and color to your BBQ spread:

Pickles & Relishes: A jar of organic pickles or sweet relish adds a tangy crunch that pairs perfectly with grilled meats. Try serving them alongside your burgers or as a topping for sausages.

Cheese: For those who enjoy cheese on their grill, look for high-quality organic options. A slice of sharp cheddar or creamy goat cheese can take a burger or grilled chicken sandwich to the next level.

This summer, make your BBQs unforgettable by stocking your pantry with the right essentials. Whether you’re grilling Mother’s 100% Grass-Fed Organic & Wagyu Beef, sustainable salmon, or organic poultry, you can feel good about the quality and sourcing of your ingredients. Add in flavorful marinades, sides, and refreshing drinks, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a summer cookout everyone will love.
