Seasonal Produce Guide Meal Planning Printable

Download this pretty printable seasonal produce guide for a list of fresh fruits and vegetables and their peak time of year.

Everyone knows that eating fresh fruits and vegetables is an important part of a healthy diet. If you’re looking for ideas to be more creative in the kitchen while sticking to a grocery budget, eating seasonally is a great place to start.

Use this seasonal produce guide and free printable to help with weekly meal planning.

Eating seasonally simply means you eat fresh produce when it’s in season. That usually makes it fresher, cheaper, and at its peak flavor. (Of course, there are lots of fruits and vegetables that are grown year-round too.)

Shop your favorite grocery store or farmers’ market. You can also grow many of these in your home garden, depending on where you live, of course.

The seasons might be marked on the calendar at the same time every year, but I’ve seen a few March snow days and plenty of warm Novembers.

So while this is a handy guide to help you plan, the weather might change up what you find at your local market.

• berries
• green beans
• green onions

I didn’t list every single fruit and vegetable, but I chose the ones that were easiest to find and to cook. Many of these are also so easy to grow and ship that they will be fairly inexpensive and of good quality much earlier and later too.
