How to Eat Peaches for Every Meal of the Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Binghamton chapter.

With summer now in full swing, there’s no reason not to take advantage of all the seasonal fruits at the grocery store. My personal favorite is plums, but the real MVP? Peaches, because of their meal versatility. 

No joke, you can incorporate peaches into any meal of the day . (even dinner!) without the meal drifting too close to dessert territory. (Granted, dessert for every meal is a tempting thought.) Keep reading to see how you can use these peach recipes for your next breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or snack. After all, summer eats are meant to be peachy keen.

Lunch: Prosciutto-Wrapped Peach and Goat Cheese Salad

Meat-wrapped food always taste amazing, and bacon-wrapped peaches are no different. Try them on this salad with goat cheese for a mouthwatering lunch. Otherwise, there are several other salads out there featuring peaches, including the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad at Panera.
