Featured Recipe from Captain 5 A Day

Summer is finally here, and with it comes many delicious and colorful fruits and vegetables for us to eat! The CHOICES program at CHNCT is a good reminder for all of us that summer can be a season of eating lighter and moving more.

Our partner Captain 5 A Day makes a great watermelon gazpacho. The watermelon mixes with many other colorful vegetables for a cold summer "soup" that is delicious and very refreshing.
