Summer has come in with a bang! High heat, summer storms, humidity that never lets up… it’s enough to make you want to stay inside and bask in your AC. But summer also brings nature walks, afternoons on the ocean, pool parties, and backyard barbecues. You don’t want to miss all the memories summertime festivities bring, so instead of hiding inside, just be prepared when you go out. Stay hydrated, bring bug spray and sunscreen, and make things easy by getting prepared food instead of cooking yourself. Rising Tide has everything you need for days and nights outdoors. As you walk through the aisles you can get fresh organic fruits and vegetables, beach snacks, reusable water bottles, picnic meals, electrolytes, sunscreen, and bug spray. It’s one-stop shopping to enable your summertime fun.
We’ll see you in the store!
With gratitude,
Jerry
SEASONAL PRODUCE
SEASONAL FRUITS
There are so many fruits and vegetables at peak freshness during the summer months that it’s hard to pick just one or two favorites. When it comes to fruit, rather than choosing one, we’re going with a whole category: stone fruit. We’re talking about cherries, peaches, apricots, and nectarines. Known for their antioxidants and immune power, these make healthy sweet snacks. Beyond eating them right out of the fruit basket, they also bake up deliciously in a pie or tart. Think cherry pie and peach crumble.

SEASONAL VEGGIES
Summer isn’t summer without corn. Packed with dietary fiber, corn on the cob is a simple addition to any barbecue because you can throw it on the grill. Sweet and crunchy, it’s a must at your seasonal table. We also love it in a salad or a slaw and baked up into a skillet bread.
New to grilling corn? Give this simple recipe a try.
GRAB IT AND GO, GO, GO…
This is the season to get together with friends over the grill, at the beach, or by the pool. Take a hike with your kids. Go camping with your buddies. Explore, escape, and go, go, go. That’s why our deli and Grab n’ Go are stocked with just about everything you need to focus on your activities and not get bogged down in your kitchen. We have freshly cut fruit for snacking during your hike. Bright summer salads like watermelon feta and Mexican street corn to take with you to the beach. Let’s not forget beverages like our fresh lemonades and seasonal specials. Satisfy your appetite and quench your thirst by barely lifting a finger. That’s the RT way!
WELLNESS MATTERS
STEVE’S SUPPLEMENT SUGGESTION
There’s a lot of buzz around electrolytes lately, and with the heat index reaching triple digits, it’s understandable why. When we sweat, we not only lose water, we lose minerals, too. Electrolytes help keep the fluids in your body balanced and can mitigate the effects of dehydration. Effects like headache, muscle cramping, weakness, fatigue, and more. Whether you’re working out or just spending time outside, replenishing your body’s fluids with electrolytes can help you stay hydrated. Steve loves Just Ingredients electrolyte powder packs for their 3:1 potassium-to-sodium ratio, and the fact that they’re made with real fruit and have no added sugar. If you’re looking to incorporate electrolytes into your diet, give Just Ingredients a try.
*Speak with your doctor before incorporating any supplement into your diet.
SMOOTHIE OF THE MONTH: WATERMELON QUENCHER
Summer just sings with watermelon. It’s why the Watermelon Quencher is our Smoothie of the Month.
