Spring has sprung in Australia, and with it comes longer days, warmer mornings, and a rainbow of fresh, seasonal produce. The world feels like it’s bursting with new life… Get ready to start seeing some beautiful Jacaranda trees dotted around the place… and we do hope that you don’t come across too many swooping magpies. 🤣
🌸🐝 It’s the perfect season to shake off the heaviness of winter and invite freshness, energy, and vitality into your life. This is the time for vibrant salads, juicy berries, tender greens, and all the colourful veggies that only taste this good when they’re in season. It’s also the perfect moment to give your body a little reset – supporting digestion, boosting immunity, and topping up your energy as the sunshine rolls in.
Eating with the season is also good for the planet, and the farmers who grow your food. 💛
So, who’s excited for the freshness that spring brings? Here’s how to make this your healthiest, most energised spring yet.👇✨

How To Refresh, Reboot & Nourish Your Body
Spring Clean Your Plate
Swap heavy winter foods for lighter, brighter meals. Think juicy greens, crunchy radishes, bright capsicums, leafy herbs, spring onions, and sweet berries. 🥗🍓
Foodie Tip: Eat lots of raw or lightly steamed veggies – spring produce is packed with vitamins, and it’s better to get them in their purest form rather than overcooking them. Smoothies are a great way to enjoy some raw fruit & veg too.
Seasonal Superfoods
Citrus, strawberries, peas, beans, zucchini, and fresh herbs are in their prime right now and are perfect for immunity, hydration, and flavour. 🍋🍓🥒
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Warmer days call for extra hydration. Infuse water with citrus, cucumber, or fresh herbs to make sipping feel like a treat. 💧🍋🌿Add a pinch of good-quality salt to help your body absorb the water better.
Wake Up Your Digestion
Spring is perfect for gently detoxing your body after winter. Leafy greens, sprouts, and fibrous veggies keep your digestion happy and your energy steady. 🥬🌱
Make Your Kitchen a Spring Sanctuary
Open the windows, let the sunshine in, and celebrate fresh flavours. Try simple stir-fries, fresh salads, or a vibrant nourish bowl with local seasonal veggies. Bonus points for edible flowers if you’re feeling fancy! 🌸🍲
Spring Clean Your Mind & Space
Declutter your home and your mind – a clean space & mind helps you feel light and energised. 🪴✨We recommend Insight Timer as a great meditation app for mindfulness.
Get Moving Outdoors
With the weather warming up, swap cosy indoor movement for walks in the sunshine, gardening, or gentle stretching under the morning sun. Movement feels easier and more joyful when paired with vitamin D! 🌞🧘♀️
Boost Your Mood With Colour
The more colourful your plate, the brighter your mood. Aim for rainbow meals – reds, oranges, yellows, greens – they’re like a natural lift for body and mind. 🌈🥕🍋 Download our 30 Plants Gut Health Challenge to make sure you’re getting enough plant diversity each week.
Support Local Growers
Spring is an abundant season for Queensland farmers. Eating local means tastier food, fresher nutrition, and supporting the people who care for our land. 🥦🍓👩🌾
Celebrate Growth & Renewal
Spring is all about new beginnings – from sprouting seedlings in your garden to trying a new recipe, planting herbs on your balcony, or simply soaking up the morning sun with a cup of tea or an iced matcha. Take small moments to refresh, reflect, and bloom this season. 🌱💛
Here’s to a season of fresh beginnings, vibrant plates, and the joy of eating what’s in season.
Infinite love & gratitude,
Kristen & Trevor and all the team at the Spray-Free Farmacy
