Autumn Seasonal Fruit and Vegetables

Eating seasonally is a great way to add variety to your Jenny Craig menu and to enjoy produce at its nutritional peak. Find out what is in season in Autumn.

As we bid farewell to Summer for another year, we welcome the fresh Autumn fruit and vegetables. With the weather starting to cool down, Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy refreshing fruits and salads during the day, and start to start thinking about warm nourishing stir-fried, steamed and roasted vegetables in the evening. Eating seasonally is a great way to add variety to your Jenny Craig menu and to enjoy produce at its nutritional peak. Not only are seasonal fruit and vegetables tastier, they are more cost effective compared to when produce isn’t in season. When you purchase seasonal produce, you’re supporting local farmers, helping to reduce food miles, and therefore greenhouse gas emissions.
