Summertime shrimp and peach salad with cucumber, red onion, cilantro and fresh lemon dressing

Simple Summertime Shrimp & Peach Salad

August 25, 2026

This light and refreshing Shrimp & Peach Salad is about as simple as summer cooking gets. Fresh peaches, crisp cucumber and celery, red onion, cilantro, and shrimp come together with a bright lemon-and-olive-oil dressing for an easy lunch or light dinner. It also happens to check the boxes for the current social media “3-color rule.” Of course, eating a variety of colorful foods isn't exactly new to us at Thrive; we've been encouraging you to eat the rainbow for years. The secret to this salad is giving it time to chill. Let it rest for at least an hour before serving so the peaches, vegetables, shrimp, and citrus have time to come together. If you can give it 3–4 hours, even better. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time:...

Watermelon Season Recipes: Grilled Watermelon & Tomato Gazpacho

August 19, 2026

In The Kitchen

It’s Watermelon Season! Nothing says summer quite like a ripe, juicy watermelon. Beyond being refreshing on a hot day, watermelon is naturally hydrating; it’s about 90% water and provides vitamin C, vitamin A, and the antioxidant lycopene. While watermelon is relatively low in calories (about 46 calories per cup), it is naturally higher in carbohydrates than many other fruits. Enjoying it in whole-fruit form and pairing it with protein or healthy fats can help create a more balanced snack. Try serving watermelon with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, feta cheese, or a handful of nuts to help slow carbohydrate absorption and keep you feeling satisfied. Below are two of our favorite ways to enjoy this summertime favorite. Grilled Watermelon with Hot Honey, Lime & Feta Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars...

Healthy Grilling in 2026: How to Savor the Season Safely and Deliciously

Health Hints, Healthy Eating, Healthy Life, In The Kitchen, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

Grilling is one of the simplest pleasures of summer. It brings people together, keeps the heat out of the kitchen, and adds flavor to everything from chicken and seafood to peaches, zucchini, and corn. As we pay closer attention to where our food comes from and how it supports our health, it is also worth considering how we prepare it. Grilling can absolutely be part of a healthy lifestyle, but a few simple choices can help reduce exposure to potentially harmful compounds while also protecting your family from foodborne illness. The goal is not to give up the grill. It is to grill more thoughtfully. Key Takeaways Choose lean, minimally processed proteins and make vegetables the foundation of the meal. Use moderate heat and avoid heavily blackened, burned,...
