To Our Mother’s Family,
Summer has a way of bringing us back to what matters most—fresh food, longer days, and
time
spent together.
At Mother’s Market, this season is one of my favorites because it captures so much of what
we love
most: vibrant produce at its peak, meals shared outdoors, and the simple joy of gathering
around
food that feels fresh, nourishing, and made with intention. Whether it’s a backyard dinner, a
beach
day packed with essentials, or a quick stop for something refreshing from the Juice Bar,
summer
invites us to slow down just enough to enjoy it all.
Inside this issue, you’ll find inspiration for every kind of summer moment. From premium
proteins
perfect for Father’s Day grilling and Memorial Day gatherings to the peak-season produce
that
defines the season—berries, cherries, stone fruit, corn, and more—we’re celebrating the
ingredients
that make summer meals feel colorful, effortless, and memorable.
You’ll also discover some of our favorite ways to make summer a little easier, from fresh
Grab & Go
options for days on the move to smoothies and juices that help you cool off and refuel.
Whether
you’re planning a cookout, packing a beach tote, or simply looking for fresh ideas to make
the
most of the season, we hope this issue inspires you to enjoy every bite along the way.
One of the things I love most about summer is how naturally food becomes part of the
memory.
A simple dinner on the patio can turn into an evening that lingers a little longer. A few great
ingredients can become the centerpiece of a holiday gathering. Even something as simple as
a
fresh smoothie or a perfectly packed beach lunch can make an ordinary day feel special.
That’s what we hope Mother’s can be for you this season—a place that makes summer feel a
little
easier, a little more delicious, and a lot more memorable.
Thank you, as always, for letting us be part of your tables, your traditions, and your everyday
routines. We’re grateful to be part of your summer.
With gratitude,
Dorothy Carlow
Mother’s Market & Kitchen CEO

The Taste Of Summer Starts Here
FROM JUICY BERRIES TO SUN-RIPENED STONE FRUIT,
THE SEASON’S FRESHEST PICKS ARE IN FULL SWING.
6 | Organic Living Magazine
There’s a reason summer produce inspires a dif
ferent kind of excitement. It’s not just the color,
the fragrance, or the nostalgia of roadside fruit
stands and backyard gatherings—it’s the fact
that some of the year’s most beloved fruits only
truly shine for a short window. And when they
do, they bring with them the unmistakable fla
vor of the season: bright, juicy, sun-ripened, and
impossible to replicate any other time of year.
This summer, the produce department becomes
a celebration of everything warm-weather eat
ing should be. Bowls of fresh strawberries, blue
berries, and blackberries practically beg to be
scattered over yogurt, folded into overnight
oats, or eaten by the handful straight from the
container. Cherries return with their sweet-tart
bite and deep ruby color, equally at home as a
midday snack, a topping for salads, or a fresh
finish to dinner. California grapes offer that ef
fortless kind of sweetness that makes them one
of the easiest fruits to keep on hand all season
long—perfect for lunchboxes, snack boards,
smoothies, or a chilled bowl in the fridge for
grabbing on the go.
Then there’s the magic of stone fruit. Peach
es, nectarines, plums, apricots—these are the
fruits that define summer in the most sensory
way. They’re fragrant before they’re even sliced.
They’re juicy enough to drip down your wrist.
And they can instantly elevate the simplest
meal, whether you’re layering peach slices over
cottage cheese, grilling nectarines for dessert,
or tossing plums into a salad with greens and
fresh herbs.
Page 7

For those who wait all year for tropical sweet
ness, California Keitt mangos are a true seasonal
standout. Known for their smooth texture, lower
fiber, and rich, honeyed flavor, they offer a lush,
late-summer experience that feels indulgent
while still being refreshingly clean and natural
ly nourishing. Keitt mangos are just as delicious
blended into smoothies as they are diced into
salsa, sliced over grain bowls, or paired with lime
and chili for a bright afternoon snack.
What makes summer fruit especially exciting is
how effortlessly it fits into the way we want to
eat this time of year. Meals get lighter. Snack
ing gets simpler. Cooking gets more intuitive. A
basket of berries can become breakfast. A few
sliced peaches and a drizzle of honey can be
come dessert. Cherries and grapes can turn a
simple cheese board into something worthy of
entertaining. It’s less about complicated prep
and more about letting great produce do the
work.
And while fruit often steals the spotlight, sum
mer’s savory produce deserves its own attention
too. Fresh corn and spring onions bring balance
to the season’s sweetness, adding smoky, crisp,
and savory depth to cookouts, salads, and easy
weeknight dinners. Together, these ingredients
create the kind of kitchen rhythm that feels
natural in summer: bright fruit in the morning,
grilled vegetables by evening, and fresh, colorful
plates all day long.
If there’s one rule for summer produce, it’s this:
enjoy it while it lasts. These are the weeks for
berry bowls on warm mornings, cherry-studded
salads on the patio, sliced mango by the pool,
and stone fruit desserts that barely need a reci
pe. Summer’s sweetest season is here—and the
best way to celebrate it is simply to eat with it.

Meet The New $6 Breakfast Sandwiches
Making Busy Mornings A Whole Lot Easier
Three satisfying, protein-packed
favorites—each just $6.
Mornings don’t always leave room for a
full breakfast—but that doesn’t mean the
first meal of the day should feel like an
afterthought.
That’s exactly why Mother’s new $6 breakfast
sandwiches are such a big deal.
Warm, satisfying, and built to actually hold
you over, these new breakfast favorites bring
together everything a great morning meal
should: craveable flavor, real staying power,
and the kind of convenience that fits into the
way people actually move through the day.
Whether you’re heading into work, running
from school drop-off to errands, squeezing in
a workout, or just trying to avoid the all-too-
familiar mid-morning crash, these sandwiches
are made to keep up.
And with 23g to 31g of protein, they do a lot
more than just taste good.
At just $6 each, they’re the kind of grab-and-
go breakfast that feels like a true win: easy,
filling, protein-packed, and ready when you
are.
The New Morning Lineup
Mother’s new breakfast sandwich lineup is designed for every kind of morning—whether
you’re
craving buttery and savory, classic and hearty, or something with a plant-forward twist.
Morning Melt Breakfast Croissant
31g of protein
For the mornings when you want breakfast
to feel a little more indulgent, the Morning
Melt Breakfast Croissant delivers. Warm,
buttery, and deeply satisfying, it brings
that perfect balance of comfort and con
venience—while still packing an impressive
31g of protein.
It’s the kind of breakfast that feels like a
treat, but works like fuel. Rich enough to
feel craveable, substantial enough to actu
ally keep you full, and easy enough to grab
on your way out the door.

Why They’re Worth Waking Up For
The best breakfast options don’t just taste good—they make your day easier.
That’s what makes these new sandwiches such a strong addition to the Mother’s lineup.
They solve
the everyday breakfast problem: finding something quick that still feels like a real meal. Too
often,
convenience means settling for something small, overly processed, or not nearly satisfying
enough.
But these sandwiches were clearly made with a different goal in mind.
They’re warm. They’re filling. They’re protein-packed. And they’re priced in a way that
makes them
easy to come back for again and again.
At just $6, they hit that sweet spot between value and quality—something that’s getting
harder to
find, especially for breakfast. And because each option brings 23g or 31g of protein, they’re
espe
cially appealing for anyone trying to start the day with a little more balance, a little more
fuel, and
a lot less guesswork.

The Daybreak Breakfast Bagel
31g of protein
Classic, hearty, and built for busy mornings, The
Daybreak Breakfast Bagel is a breakfast staple
done the Mother’s way. With 31g of protein, it
brings serious staying power to the start of your
day, making it an easy choice when you need
something quick that still feels substantial.
This is the sandwich for those mornings when
you know coffee alone isn’t going to cut it.
Soyrizo Breakfast Bagel
23g of protein
For those looking for a flavorful, plant-forward
breakfast option that still delivers on protein, the
Soyrizo Breakfast Bagel is a standout. With 23g
of protein, it proves that a meatless breakfast can
still be deeply satisfying, bold in flavor, and sub
stantial enough to keep up with your morning.
Savory, hearty, and a little unexpected, it’s a great
option for anyone wanting something different
from the standard breakfast routine—without
sacrificing convenience or staying power.

Perfect Way To Start The Summer Morning
SUMMER STONE FRUIT & BERRY
YOGURT BREAKFAST PARFAITS
A naturally sweet, protein-packed breakfast
that makes the most of peak-season fruit.
When summer fruit is at its best, breakfast
becomes one of the easiest places to enjoy
it. No baking, no elaborate prep, no need to
overthink it. A few spoonfuls of creamy yogurt,
layers of fresh berries, sliced stone fruit, and a
little crunch on top can feel just as satisfying as
something far more complicated—and often a
lot better, too.
These Summer Stone Fruit & Berry Yogurt
Breakfast Parfaits are a simple, healthy way
to bring seasonal produce into your morning
routine.
They’re
colorful,
refreshing,
and
naturally sweet from the fruit itself, with
protein from Greek yogurt and fiber from
berries, stone fruit, and optional toppings like
chia seeds or granola. They’re also endlessly
adaptable depending on what looks best that
week: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries,
peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, even
diced California grapes for extra texture.
This is the kind of recipe that feels right at
home in a summer magazine because it’s not
just about ingredients—it’s about lifestyle.
It’s breakfast on the patio. It’s meal prep for a
busy week. It’s a healthier brunch option when
guests come over. It’s a way to celebrate what’s
in season without losing time in the kitchen.

The Best Way To Cool Off This Summer Starts Here
FRESH, ORGANIC AND MADE TO REFRESH—
MEET THE COLD-PRESSED JUICES WE’RE
REACHING FOR ALL SEASON LONG
When summer temperatures rise, the best kind
of refreshment is simple: something cold, clean,
and made with ingredients that actually make
you feel good. This season, we’re cooling off
the Mother’s way—with crisp, vibrant, organic
cold-pressed juices that are as refreshing as
they are functional.
Whether you’re heading out for a beach day,
recovering after a workout, running errands in
the afternoon heat, or just looking for a better-
for-you pick-me-up, organic cold-pressed
juices are the kind of grab-and-go staples that
make summer feel a little easier—and a lot
more delicious.
Made
with
thoughtfully
sourced
organic
ingredients and crafted to preserve the natural
flavor and nutrients of every fruit and vegetable,
these juices are more than just something to
sip. They’re an easy way to hydrate, reset, and
add a little brightness to your day.
WHY COLD-PRESSED JUST HITS DIFFERENT IN SUMMER
There’s a reason cold-pressed juice feels especially right this time of year.
Unlike traditional juicing methods that use heat, cold-pressing helps maintain the fresh
taste, vibrant
color, and natural nutritional value of the ingredients inside. The result is a juice that tastes
cleaner,
brighter, and more alive—exactly what you want when the weather calls for something
genuinely
refreshing.
At Mother’s, our cold-pressed juice selection reflects what summer snacking and sipping
should
look like: fresh, functional, and easy to grab on the go. These are the bottles you keep in the
fridge
for busy mornings, throw in the cooler for a weekend outing, or reach for when the
afternoon heat
has officially set in.

ALWAYS FRESH, NEVER FROZEN
When it comes to juice, freshness matters—and it shows.
Made with organic ingredients and crafted with care, these cold-pressed juices are designed
to
deliver the kind of flavor you can actually taste. They’re fresh, vibrant, and never weighed
down
by the dullness that can come from overly processed or frozen alternatives. From the first
sip to
the last, the difference is clear: cleaner ingredients, better flavor, and a more refreshing
experience
overall.
It’s the kind of quality that aligns perfectly with how more people want to shop and sip
today. Fewer
compromises. Better ingredients. Real flavor. Easy convenience.
ORGANIC SUNRISE GLOW

The Burger Upgrade Everyone Tastes Immediately
WHY MOTHER’S GRASS-FED WAGYU BURGER
PATTIES ARE IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE
20 | Organic Living Magazine
A better burger starts with better beef—and
this one delivers on every level.
There are plenty of ways to build a good
burger. Great bun. Sharp cheese. Crisp lettuce.
Homemade sauce. Maybe even caramelized
onions if you’re feeling ambitious.
But the truth is, the best burger always starts
with one thing: the patty.
And when the patty is right, everything else
becomes secondary.
That’s exactly what makes Mother’s Grass-Fed
Wagyu Burger Patties such a standout. They
don’t just make burger night easier—they make
it better. Richer, juicier, more flavorful, and
far more elevated than the average backyard
burger, these patties deliver the kind of quality
that people notice immediately from the first
bite.
A burger may be casual by nature, but that
doesn’t mean it has to be ordinary.
Page 21
At Mother’s, our Grass-Fed Wagyu Burger
Patties bring a premium feel to one of
summer’s most iconic meals. Crafted from
100% grass-fed, Non-GMO beef sourced
from pasture-raised cattle, they’re raised to
Certified Humanestandards and selected from
premium Wagyu genetics—not conventional
commodity beef. That distinction is what gives
these burgers their edge. It’s what creates the
superior fine marbling that translates into a
more tender, juicy, and flavorful burger—one
that instantly feels like a step above what you’d
expect from a standard grocery-store patty.
In other words, this is not the burger you settle
for when you don’t want steak. This is the
burger you choose because you want burger
night to feel like the main event.
Summer is the natural season for that kind
of protein. Burgers belong to long weekends,
casual entertaining, poolside dinners, and
spontaneous grill nights when the only real
plan is to keep things simple and delicious. But
the difference between a forgettable burger
and one people keep talking about usually
comes down to the beef itself.
That’s why these patties are such a strong
fit for the Mother’s shopper. They deliver
the ease of a ready-to-cook format with the
standards people are increasingly prioritizing:
better sourcing, better texture, and a premium
experience that still feels approachable. You
don’t have to build a complicated burger to
make them shine. A toasted bun, fresh tomato,
crisp lettuce, and a clean condiment lineup
are more than enough. Add grilled onions,
avocado, or sharp cheddar if you want, but the
beauty of a Wagyu burger is that it’s already
bringing so much flavor to the table on its own.
They’re also incredibly versatile beyond the
classic burger build. Serve them protein-style
wrapped in lettuce, top them with grilled
summer vegetables, or pair them with a fresh
side salad and sweet corn for a more balanced
backyard dinner. They’re indulgent, yes—but
still rooted in the kind of ingredient integrity
that aligns with the Mother’s standard.
That’s what makes them special. They don’t
just deliver on flavor. They reflect a higher level
of intention.
Because a better burger isn’t about piling on
more toppings. It’s about starting with better
beef.
And when the patty is this good, the rest
practically builds itself.

A fresh, colorful side dish that brings together
sweet, smoky, and savory summer flavor. Some
of the best summer recipes happen when you
stop thinking in categories. Corn doesn’t have
to be only savory. Cherries don’t have to be only
for dessert. Spring onions don’t need much more
than a little heat to become something soft,
sweet, and deeply flavorful. Put them together,
and you get a salad that feels unexpected in the
best possible way—bright, seasonal, and perfect
for warm-weather meals.
This Grilled Corn, Cherry & Spring Onion Salad
is the kind of dish that feels impressive enough
for entertaining, but easy enough to make on
a weeknight. It’s naturally colorful, loaded with
texture, and full of fresh ingredients that do most
of the work for you. The corn brings sweetness
and char. The spring onions mellow on the grill
and add a subtle savory depth. Fresh cherries
add juicy bursts of brightness that make the
whole dish pop. A simple lemon-herb dressing
ties everything together without overpowering
the produce.
It’s also a recipe that fits beautifully into a
healthier summer rhythm. It’s produce-forward,
naturally gluten-free, rich in fiber, and full of fresh
flavor without relying on anything heavy. Serve it
as a side with grilled salmon, chicken, or veggie
burgers, or turn it into a light main by adding
arugula, avocado, or a scoop of quinoa.

4 ears fresh corn, husked
•
1 bunch spring onions, trimmed

1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
•
2 cups arugula or baby spinach
•
1 avocado, diced
•
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
•
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
•
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon lemon zest

until lightly charred in spots, about 8–10 minutes.

blistered, about 4–5 minutes.
3. Set aside to cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the
corn and chop the spring onions into 1- to 2-inch
pieces.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil,
lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey (if
using), salt, and pepper.
5. In a large serving bowl, combine the grilled
corn, spring onions, cherries, arugula, avocado,
basil, and mint.
6. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to
combine.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve
immediately.
HEALTHY SERVING IDEAS
•
Add grilled wild salmon or organic chicken for a balanced dinner
•
Toss in cooked quinoa for extra fiber and plant-based protein
•
Top with pumpkin seeds for crunch and minerals
•
Swap arugula for chopped romaine if you want more crunch and structure
This is the kind of recipe that proves healthy summer eating doesn’t have to be
complicated. When produce is at its peak, all you really need is a grill, a few herbs,
and the willingness to let sweet and savory meet on the same plate.

Wild Sockeye Salmon with
Blueberry Stone Fruit Salsa
A HEALTHY, VIBRANT SUMMER DINNER THAT’S
PACKED WITH FRESH FLAVOR AND NATURALLY
RICH IN FEEL-GOOD NUTRITION
When it comes to summer seafood, few proteins
feel as effortless and elevated as Wild Sockeye
Salmon.
Its rich color, bold flavor, and naturally firm texture
make it a standout in the seafood case, but what really
makes it ideal this time of year is how beautifully it
pairs with the season’s freshest produce. It doesn’t
need heavy sauces or complicated preparation—
just a hot grill or oven, a few simple seasonings, and
something bright to bring it to life.
This recipe does exactly that with a Blueberry Stone
Fruit Salsa, a fresh and naturally sweet topping
that brings together blueberries, ripe peaches or
nectarines, herbs, citrus, and a touch of red onion
for contrast. Spoon it over warm salmon and the
whole dish feels instantly summery: colorful, clean,
and exactly the kind of meal that feels good to eat
on a warm evening.
It’s healthy, beautiful on the plate, and easy enough
to make on a weeknight—while still feeling special
enough for guests.
Wild Sockeye Salmon With
Blueberry Stone Fruit Salsa
Page 25
MothersMarket.com | 25
INGREDIENTS
For the salmon:
•
4 Wild Sockeye Salmon fillets
•
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
•
1 teaspoon sea salt
•
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon lemon zest
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For the blueberry stone fruit salsa:
•
1 cup fresh blueberries
•
1 ripe peach or nectarine, diced
•
2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
•
2 tablespoons fresh basil or mint, chopped
•
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
•
1 teaspoon honey
•
Pinch of sea salt
Why It Works
Wild Sockeye Salmon has a naturally rich, savory flavor that pairs especially well with
bright, juicy
summer fruit. The blueberries add freshness, the stone fruit brings mellow sweetness, and
the herbs
and citrus keep everything balanced and light. It’s a beautiful way to make a healthy dinner
feel
seasonal, colorful, and elevated without overcomplicating the recipe.
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the grill or oven.
If grilling, heat to medium-high and lightly
oil the grates. If roasting, preheat the oven
to 400°F.
2. Season the salmon.
Pat the Wild Sockeye Salmon dry and place
on a plate or tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then
season with sea salt, black pepper, lemon
zest, and lemon juice.
3. Make the salsa.
In a bowl, gently combine the blueberries,
diced peach or nectarine, red onion, basil or
mint, lime juice, honey if using, and a pinch
of sea salt. Let sit while the salmon cooks so
the flavors can meld.
4. Cook the salmon.
Grill method: Place the salmon skin-side
down (if skin is on) or directly on a well-oiled
grill grate or fish tray. Grill for about 4–6
minutes per side, depending on thickness,
until just cooked through.
Oven method: Place the salmon on a
parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for
10–14 minutes, depending on thickness, until
the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Serve.
Transfer the salmon to plates and spoon the
blueberry stone fruit salsa generously over
the top.

What to Grill for Dad This Father’s Day
A FATHER’S DAY GUIDE TO PREMIUM
PROTEINS, SUMMER SIDES, AND THE
KIND OF MEAL WORTH GATHERING AROUND
Some gifts get unwrapped. Others get plated.
And when it comes to Father’s Day, the most mem
orable celebrations often happen around the grill—
outside, a little unhurried, with everyone gathering
for the kind of meal that feels both easy and special.
It’s not about making the day overly formal. It’s about
choosing ingredients that feel like an upgrade, firing
up the grill, and building a meal that says we thought
this through.
That’s what makes Father’s Day such a natural food
holiday. It’s built for premium proteins, simple sum
mer sides, and the kind of menu that feels generous
without being complicated. Whether Dad is a steak
person, a burger purist, a seafood-on-the-grill type, or
someone who just appreciates a really good backyard
meal, the key is choosing something that feels worthy
of the occasion.
At Mother’s, Father’s Day starts with what’s on the
grill.
IF DAD LOVES STEAK, MAKE IT COUNT
There are few more classic Father’s Day moves than putting a great steak at the center of the
meal.
If the goal is something memorable, this is the moment to reach for a cut that feels elevated
—some
thing with real presence on the plate and the kind of flavor that doesn’t need much more
than salt,
pepper, and a hot grill. Mother’s Grass-Fed Wagyu New York Strip, Grass-Fed Wagyu Ribeye,
or
Grass-Fed Wagyu Filet Mignon all deliver that steakhouse-at-home energy that instantly
makes
dinner feel more intentional.
What makes Mother’s Wagyu especially worthy of a Father’s Day feature is that it goes
beyond just
being a premium steak. It’s 100% grass-fed, Non-GMO beef from pasture-raised cattle,
raised to
Certified Humane standards and selected from premium Wagyu genetics—not commodity
beef.
That’s what gives it the superior fine marbling and rich, tender texture that set it apart from
con
ventional grocery-store beef.
In other words: if Dad appreciates a great steak, this is how you make the meal feel like the
main
event.

IF DAD IS A BURGER GUY, UPGRADE THE CLASSIC
Not every Father’s Day meal needs to be a white-tablecloth moment. Sometimes the best
move is
simply taking a classic and making it better.
For the dad who loves a burger, Mother’s Grass-Fed Wagyu Burger Patties are the perfect
way to
elevate the backyard favorite without overcomplicating the day. They bring all the ease of
burger
night with a noticeably more premium bite—richer, juicier, and more flavorful than your
standard
patty.
Serve them simply on a toasted bun with sharp cheddar, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato,
or build
a more elevated burger bar with avocado, caramelized onions, fresh pickles, and better-for-
you
condiments. Either way, the point is the same: start with better beef, and everything else
falls into
place.
It’s casual, crowd-pleasing, and exactly the kind of Father’s Day meal that feels relaxed in the
best
way.

IF DAD LOVES TO GRILL FOR A CROWD, GO WITH TRI TIP
For the dad who treats the grill like a weekend ritual, Mother’s Signature Tri Tip might be
the
perfect pick.
Tri tip is a California classic for a reason. It’s bold, flavorful, easy to slice and share, and ideal
for family-style meals that stretch from lunch into the afternoon. It feels substantial enough
to be celebratory, but still laid-back enough for a backyard Father’s Day gathering.
Serve it with grilled corn, roasted potatoes, a crisp salad, or even sliced thin for sandwiches
later in the day. It’s a protein that works especially well when the goal is to keep things abun
dant, easy, and unmistakably summer.
And for the dad who loves to stand at the grill and “check on things” all afternoon? It’s kind
of perfect.
Page 29
MothersMarket.com | 29
IF DAD WANTS SOMETHING LIGHTER, GO SEAFOOD
Not every Father’s Day menu needs to lean heavy.
For a more fresh, wellness-forward meal that still feels elevated, seafood is a strong choice—
especially in summer. Wild Sockeye Salmon, Cedar Plank Salmon, or Line Caught Halibut all
make excellent grilling options for dads who prefer something lighter but still full of flavor.
Salmon pairs beautifully with lemon, herbs, and grilled vegetables, while halibut offers a
clean,
flaky texture that feels especially polished on the plate. These are the kinds of proteins that
make Father’s Day feel a little more refined while still staying relaxed and seasonal.
They also pair naturally with summer produce, which means the whole menu can stay
bright,
colorful, and easy to build around.

Why Grass-Fed Wagyu New York Strip
Belongs at the Center of Summer Dinner
PREMIUM, RICHLY MARBLED AND
UNDENIABLY MEMORABLE, THIS IS THE
CUT THAT TURNS DINNER INTO AN EVENT
Page 31
MothersMarket.com | 31
There are steaks you cook because you’re
hungry, and then there are steaks you cook
because you want the meal to feel like
something more.
Mother’s Grass-Fed Wagyu New York Strip
Steak is firmly in the second category.
This is the kind of cut that instantly elevates
the evening. It’s polished but not fussy,
indulgent without being overcomplicated,
and deeply satisfying in the way only a truly
exceptional steak can be. With its bold beef
flavor, signature tenderness, and beautifully
balanced marbling, the New York strip has
long been a favorite for people who want a
steak with structure, richness, and presence on
the plate. And when that classic cut is sourced
with the kind of standards Mother’s is known
for, it becomes something even more special.
At first glance, the appeal is obvious: a
premium steak with a beautiful sear potential,
a satisfying bite, and the kind of flavor that
doesn’t need much dressing up. But what
makes Mother’s version stand apart is that it
isn’t just premium in appearance—it’s premium
in every layer of the story behind it.
This is 100% grass-fed, Non-GMO beef from
pasture-raised cattle, raised to Certified
Humane standards and selected for premium
Wagyu genetics—not commodity beef. That
difference matters. It’s what gives the steak its
superior fine marbling, which creates a richer,
more tender eating experience than what you’d
expect from conventional grocery-store beef.
The result is a noticeably higher-quality tier of
steak: one that feels elevated from sourcing
to final sliceAnd that’s exactly why it feels so
right for summer.
The New York strip is a natural fit for grilling
season. It’s substantial enough to anchor a
holiday weekend dinner, polished enough for a
backyard date night, and easy enough to cook
well without overcomplicating the process. A
hot grill, a generous seasoning of sea salt and
cracked pepper, and a few minutes on each
side are often all it takes to bring out its best.
Let it rest, slice it against the grain, and serve
it with whatever summer has to offer—grilled
corn, blistered spring onions, a simple salad, or
ripe stone fruit on the side.
That versatility is part of what makes it
such a strong magazine-worthy protein. It’s
aspirational, yes, but still accessible. It gives you
that steakhouse-at-home feeling while staying
grounded in the kind of intentional, better-for-
you sourcing that Mother’s shoppers actually
care about. It speaks to the shopper who
wants dinner to feel elevated, but still aligned
with their standards.
In a season full of casual meals, the right steak
can be a reminder that easy and exceptional
don’t have to be opposites. Sometimes all it
takes is the right cut, the right grill marks, and
a summer night worth slowing down for.
Mother’s Grass-Fed Wagyu New York Strip
Steak isn’t just a premium protein—it’s the kind
of ingredient that changes the whole mood of
the meal. And once it’s on the table, everyone
knows dinner just got better.

34 | Organic Living Magazine
THE INGREDIENTS
BANANA
A smoothie essential for a reason, banana
adds natural sweetness, creamy texture, and
quick, easy-to-digest carbohydrates that help
provide lasting energy. It’s also a great source of
potassium, making it especially popular before
or after workouts.
PEANUT BUTTER
Rich, satisfying, and packed with healthy fats,
peanut butter adds depth and creaminess while
helping make the smoothie more filling. It also
brings a source of plant-based protein and that
classic nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with
banana and cacao.

MothersMarket.com | 35
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
What makes the Custom Workout Smoothie
stand out is its simplicity. It takes a handful of
classic, functional ingredients and turns them
into something that feels both indulgent and
purposeful. The combination of protein, healthy
fats,

naturally
occurring
carbohydrates
makes it a strong option for pre-workout fuel,

quality in every sip—fresh, thoughtfully crafted,
and made to support the way you actually want
to eat.

recovering after one, or just craving something
cold, creamy, and genuinely filling, the Custom
Workout Smoothie is always a strong choice.
Head to the Juice Bar at Mother’s Market and build
your perfect blend.
CACAO
More than just a chocolatey touch, cacao brings
bold flavor along with naturally occurring
antioxidants. It adds a rich, indulgent taste
while keeping the smoothie grounded in simple,
wholesome ingredients.
CHOICE OF MILK
Whether you prefer dairy or a plant-based option,
your milk choice allows you to customize the
smoothie to your taste and lifestyle. It creates the
perfect creamy base while helping you build a
blend that fits your preferences.
CHOICE OF PROTEIN
Choose whey or plant-based protein to make
this smoothie work for your goals. Protein helps
support muscle recovery, promotes satiety, and
makes this blend a more substantial option when
you need something that truly holds you over.

California Keitt Mangos
Deserve Their Own Moment
SMOOTH, SWEET, AND ONLY
HERE FOR A LIMITED TIME, THIS
LATE-SUMMER FAVORITE IS
WORTH PLANNING AROUND
Page 37
MothersMarket.com | 37
Every season has that one produce arrival
that makes people stop in their tracks. In sum
mer, there are plenty of contenders—cherries,
peaches, berries—but for mango lovers, few
things create the same level of excitement as
the arrival of California Keitt mangos.
Unlike earlier mango varieties, Keitt mangos
arrive later in the season, which makes them
feel like summer’s encore. Just when you think
peak fruit season couldn’t possibly offer one
more standout, they show up—lush, golden,
and incredibly satisfying. Their timing is part
of the appeal, but their flavor is what makes
them unforgettable.
California Keitt mangos are known for being
exceptionally juicy, sweet, and smooth, with
less of the stringy texture some people asso
ciate with mangoes. Their flesh is rich and but
tery, but still refreshing. They’re easy to slice,
easy to cube, and easy to love. Once ripe, they
offer a depth of sweetness that feels almost
dessert-like, but with all the freshness of peak
summer fruit.
One of the reasons Keitts are such a favorite
in the kitchen is their versatility. They can go
sweet or savory without missing a beat. Slice
them over chia pudding, Greek yogurt, or
cottage cheese for a bright, naturally sweet
breakfast. Blend them into smoothies with
coconut water, spinach, and lime for a tropi
cal reset. Fold them into salsa with jalapeñ o,
cilantro, and red onion to serve over grilled
fish or chicken. Add them to a grain bowl with
avocado, greens, and a citrus vinaigrette. Or
keep it simple and enjoy them chilled with a
squeeze of lime and a pinch of chili salt.
They also happen to pair beautifully with
some of summer’s other stars. Keitt mangos
work especially well alongside grilled corn,
fresh herbs, berries, and even stone fruit. They
bring a little sunshine to salads, snack boards,
and summer entertaining spreads. Their bold
color alone can make a dish feel more vibrant
and intentional.
Beyond flavor, mangoes offer a feel-good nu
tritional bonus too. They’re naturally rich in
vitamin C and contain fiber, making them an
easy way to add something both delicious and
nourishing to your day. And because they’re
so naturally sweet, they’re also a great option
for anyone looking to satisfy a dessert craving
with something fresh and simple.
The best seasonal produce always creates a
little urgency. You know it won’t be around
forever, which makes you appreciate it more.
California Keitt mangos are exactly that kind
of fruit. They’re a fleeting, late-summer luxu
ry—one that turns ordinary meals into some
thing brighter, juicier, and a little more mem
orable.
So if you see them, don’t wait. Bring them
home, let them ripen, and build a few meals
around them. Because some produce is good.
And some produce becomes part of the sea
son itself.

Plan Your Buy for the 4th of July
YOUR GUIDE TO GRILLING, GRAZING,
AND GATHERING WITH EVERYTHING
YOU NEED FOR AN EASY, ELEVATED
HOLIDAY WEEKEND
There’s something about the 4th of July that
feels like the peak of summer. It’s the holiday
built around long afternoons outside, back
yard grilling, beach coolers, fireworks, and ta
bles filled with food people keep going back
for. The pace slows down. The gatherings get
bigger. And the best celebrations always start
with planning your buy before the weekend
begins.
Because the best hosts know a great 4th of July
spread isn’t about making things complicated.
It’s about stocking up on the right essentials:
premium proteins for the grill, peak-season
produce, refreshing drinks, easy grazing sta
ples, and crowd-pleasing favorites that make
entertaining feel effortless.
At Mother’s, 4th of July shopping is all about
building a cart that sets you up for a full week
end of summer moments—fresh, seasonal,
easy, and elevated.
Page 39
START WITH THE GRILL
If the 4th of July has a main character, it’s the
grill.
This is the weekend for burgers, hot dogs,
steaks, chicken, and seafood that feel festive,
easy to cook, and made for gathering around.
Think Mother’s premium burgers, 100% grass-
fed Wagyu burger patties, Mother’s Signature
Tri Tip, Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken
Thighs, Cedar Plank Salmon, or Wild Sockeye
Salmon for something lighter but still elevated.
For a classic cookout feel, burgers and chick
en are the obvious crowd favorites. If you want
something more elevated, tri tip brings that Cal
ifornia summer energy that always feels right
for the 4th. And for those leaning wellness-for
ward, grilled salmon instantly makes the menu
feel polished without adding extra work.
Whatever you choose, buy extra. The best 4th
of July gatherings are the ones where people
stay longer than expected.
BUILD YOUR SUMMER SIDES AROUND THE
PRODUCE DEPARTMENT
Once the grill is covered, the rest of the menu
should come straight from the season.
The 4th of July is the perfect time to lean
into produce that makes summer entertaining
feel colorful, fresh, and abundant. Corn is es
sential—whether grilled, turned into salad, or
served simply with butter and herbs. Organic
berries instantly brighten any table and work
across brunch, snacking, dessert, or grazing
boards. Cherries, California grapes, peaches,
nectarines, plums, and watermelon all bring
that peak-summer feeling people wait for all
year.
For savory balance, stock up on avocados,
spring onions, leafy greens, tomatoes, and
fresh herbs. These are the ingredients that
turn simple sides into something that feels in
tentional: grilled corn salad, herb-heavy pota
to salad, watermelon platters, crisp green sal
ads, and fresh summer slaws.
The best 4th of July sides are the ones that
feel refreshing enough for the heat and flexi
ble enough to snack on all afternoon.
Page 40
40 | Organic Living Magazine
DON’T SKIP THE GRAZING BOARD
Every great 4th of July gathering starts with
something to snack on before the grill is ready.
This is where Mother’s shines. A simple board
built with organic berries, cherries, grapes, water
melon, chips, guacamole, hummus, crackers, veg
etables, dips, olives, and cheeses instantly makes
the setup feel abundant and effortless.
You don’t need to overthink it. The best grazing
boards are simple, colorful, fresh, and easy to
keep reaching for. It should look like summer. And
it should disappear quickly.
STOCK THE COOLER
No 4th of July setup is complete without some
thing cold within reach.
Stock up on organic cold-pressed juices, spar
kling waters, kombucha, electrolyte drinks, and
refreshing better-for-you sips that balance a
warm day outside. For wellness-forward hosting,
fresh juices and functional drinks make the whole
spread feel lighter and more elevated.
And don’t overlook the Juice Bar. Fresh smooth
ies and juices are perfect for beach mornings,
post-pool refreshes, or easy weekend rituals be
tween cookouts and fireworks.
Because sometimes the best host move is making
sure the cooler is just as good as the grill.
Page 41
MothersMarket.com | 41
KEEP DESSERT SIMPLE
4th of July dessert should feel easy.
The best way to end a summer holiday meal is with what’s already in season: chilled
watermelon,
berry platters, grilled peaches, fresh cherries, or fruit boards that let summer produce do
the work.
If you want something slightly more built out, keep it effortless: yogurt parfaits, berry
shortcakes,
fruit-and-whipped-cream cups, or a simple crisp made ahead of time. Summer desserts are
always
better when the fruit is the main event.

Grilled Mother’s Signature
Tri Tip with Cherry Chimichurri
A CALIFORNIA-INSPIRED SUMMER GRILLING
RECIPE THAT PAIRS BOLD BEEF FLAVOR WITH
A FRESH, HERB-PACKED SEASONAL TWIST
Grilled Mother’s Signature
Tri Tip with Cherry Chimichurri
Some proteins were simply made for summer
grilling, and Mother’s Signature Tri Tip is one of
them.
Beloved across California for its bold flavor, easy
slicing, and crowd-pleasing versatility, tri tip is the
kind of cut that instantly makes a backyard dinner
feel more memorable. It’s substantial enough to
anchor a holiday weekend meal, relaxed enough
for casual entertaining, and ideal for serving fam
ily-style—straight from the cutting board to the
table.
This recipe leans into that California spirit with a
fresh seasonal upgrade: Cherry Chimichurri. In
stead of the traditional version alone, sweet sum
mer cherries are folded into the herb sauce for a
bright, slightly sweet contrast that plays beauti
fully against the savory richness of grilled beef.
The result is balanced, vibrant, and just elevated
enough to feel magazine-worthy without being
overly complicated.
It’s the kind of recipe that lets the grill do the work
while peak produce adds the finishing touch.
42 | Organic Living Magazine
Page 43
MothersMarket.com | 43
Why It Works
This recipe is a perfect balance of rich and fresh. Tri tip brings bold, beefy flavor and a
classic
California grilling feel, while the cherry chimichurri adds brightness, acidity, and just
enough
seasonal sweetness to make the whole dish feel lighter and more summery.
Serve It With
•
Grilled corn with lime
•
Roasted baby potatoes
•
Arugula salad with peaches or nectarines
•
Grilled spring onions
•
A chilled berry-forward mocktail or fresh juice
INGREDIENTS
For the tri tip:
•
1 Mother’s Signature Tri Tip (about 2–3 pounds)
•
2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
•
2 teaspoons sea salt
•
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the cherry chimichurri:
•
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and finely chopped
•
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
•
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
•
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
•
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
•
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
•
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
1. Prep the tri tip:
Remove the tri tip from the refrigerator 30
minutes before grilling. Pat dry and rub with
oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and
smoked paprika.
2. Preheat the grill.
Heat a grill to medium-high. If using a two-
zone setup, keep one side hotter for searing
and the other side a little cooler for finishing.
3. Grill the tri tip.
Sear the tri tip over direct heat for about 4–5
minutes per side to develop a nice crust. Then
move it to indirect heat and continue cook
ing until the internal temperature reaches
about 130–135°F for medium-rare, about 20–
30 more minutes depending on size and grill
temperature.
4. Rest the meat.
Transfer the tri tip to a cutting board and let
it rest for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing.
5. Make the cherry chimichurri.
While the meat rests, combine the chopped
cherries, parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine
vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt,
black pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir
well and let sit for 5–10 minutes so the flavors
meld.
6. Slice and serve.
Slice the tri tip thinly against the grain and
spoon the cherry chimichurri over the top or

Beach Day, the Mother’s Way
SUN, SNACKS, HYDRATION AND A FEW
MOTHER’S FAVORITES—EVERYTHING YOU
NEED FOR A BETTER BEACH DAY STARTS HERE
In Southern California, beach days aren’t exactly
a special occasion—they’re a lifestyle.
Sometimes it’s a full Saturday with friends, tow
els, and a packed cooler. Sometimes it’s a sponta
neous after-work sunset. Sometimes it’s a quick
morning walk along the water that turns into an
all-day stay because the weather is too good to
leave. However it happens, the best beach days
always have one thing in common: the tote mat
ters.Not just any tote. A well-packed tote.
Because the difference between a beach day that
feels effortless and one that feels mildly chaot
ic usually comes down to what you remembered
to bring. Hydration, something satisfying to eat,
a few smart grab-and-go staples, and the little
extras that make the whole day feel a little more
comfortable, a little more elevated, and a lot
more Mother’s.
That’s where the perfect Mother’s beach
essentials tote comes in.
START WITH THE TOTE
Every great beach day starts with the
bag.
A Mother’s mini tote bag is the perfect
place to begin—lightweight, easy to car
ry, and just the right size for your must-
haves. It’s practical enough for snacks
and essentials, but still cute enough
to feel intentional. Think of it as your
coastal errand bag, your farmers mar
ket sidekick, and your beach-day MVP
all in one.
It’s the kind of tote that says: I packed
snacks,
sunscreen,
and
something
cold—and yes, I did think this through.

HYDRATION IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
If there’s one thing that belongs in every beach
bag before anything else, it’s water.
And not just any water—Mother’s Glass Spring
Water is the kind of simple essential that instantly
earns its spot. Clean, refreshing, and easy to toss
into your tote or cooler, it’s exactly what you want
within reach after a walk in the sun, a few hours
on the sand, or that moment when the heat offi
cially kicks in and suddenly hydration becomes
the only thing that matters.
Add in a packet of Mother’s Hydration Sticks and
you’re set!
Beach days have a way of making time move dif
ferently. One hour turns into three. A quick stop
becomes an afternoon. Having water on hand
means you’re ready for all of it.
Pro tip: chill a few bottles ahead of time and tuck
them into the bag with an ice pack if you’re plan
ning to stay a while.

THE GRAB-AND-GO LUNCH THAT JUST MAKES
SENSE
A beach day needs a lunch that can keep up.
It should be satisfying, easy to pack, and some
thing you’ll actually want to eat after the sun, salt
air, and a few hours outside have officially built
your appetite. Enter: the Grab & Go Turkey Pesto
Ciabatta Sandwich.
This is the kind of beach lunch that feels like a real
upgrade from the usual throw-it-together option.
It’s hearty enough to keep you full, easy to eat
on the go, and made for exactly the kind of day
where you want something ready-made without
sacrificing flavor. Tucked into a cooler or insulat
ed lunch bag, it’s the perfect answer to the inevi
table “what are we eating later?” question before
it even comes up.
Pair it with a bag of chips, fresh fruit, or a better-
for-you crunchy snack, and suddenly your beach
lunch feels fully handled.
DON’T FORGET THE LITTLE LUXURY
There are essentials, and then there are the little
things that make the day better.
A Mother’s chapstick is one of them.
It’s the kind of item people don’t think about
until they absolutely need it—which, at the
beach, happens fast. Between sun, salt air, and
wind, a good lip balm becomes one of those
surprisingly crucial additions that makes you
feel more comfortable the second you reach for
it. Toss one in your tote and you’re covered for
the whole day.
It may be small, but it’s exactly the kind of smart,
practical extra that belongs in every beach bag.

SNACK LIKE A PRO
The best beach snacks are easy, satisfying, and a little bit fun.
This is where Mother’s really shines. Build your beach tote around a few easy grab-and-go
favorites:
•
fresh fruit like grapes, berries, cherries, or sliced stone fruit
•
organic dried mango for a sweet, chewy, no-mess snack
•
a bag of Mother’s tortilla chips
•
trail mix or nuts for something more filling
•
parmesan crisps or crunchy snack packs
•
a protein bar for backup
•
fresh-cut veggies with hummus if you’re bringing a cooler
The key is variety: something hydrating, something salty, something sweet, and something
that
actually holds you over until dinner. A beach tote packed with only “light snacks” sounds
cute until
you’re starving at 3 p.m.

Meet the burritos making breakfast, lunch,
and on-the-go meals a whole lot easier
THREE SATISFYING, PROTEIN-PACKED
FAVORITES—EACH JUST $6
Sometimes the best meal isn’t the one you
planned—it’s the one that’s ready when you need
it.
That’s exactly what makes Mother’s $6 burrito
lineup such a standout. Whether you’re grabbing
breakfast before a busy morning, looking for a sat
isfying lunch between errands, or need something
quick that still feels substantial, these burritos de
liver where it counts: big flavor, serious protein,
and unbeatable value.
At just $6 each, these aren’t your average grab-
and-go bites. They’re warm, filling, and built to
actually hold you over—making them one of the
smartest and most craveable choices in the case
right now. And with protein counts that rival some
full sit-down meals, they’re the kind of option that
fits just as well into a busy weekday as they do
into a post-workout routine or an on-the-go lunch
break.
If you’re looking for a quick meal that doesn’t feel
like a compromise, start here.
THE BREAKFAST BURRITO THAT MEANS
BUSINESS
Mornings move fast—but that doesn’t mean
breakfast has to feel like an afterthought.
The Rise & Shine Breakfast Burrito is the kind
of breakfast option that makes busy mornings
feel a little more manageable. Warm, satisfying,
and packed with 23g of protein, it delivers the
kind of staying power most quick breakfasts just
don’t. Whether you’re heading to work, squeez
ing in a workout, or simply trying to avoid the
mid-morning crash, this is a breakfast that actu
ally shows up for you.
And at just $6, it’s an easy upgrade from the
usual coffee-and-something-small routine. It’s
the kind of meal that helps you start the day
feeling fueled—not just fed.
THE PROTEIN-PACKED FAVORITE FOR LUNCH
If your midday meal needs to work a little harder,
the Pollo Asado Burrito is more than ready.
At 49g of protein, this is the highest-protein op
tion of the three—and the kind of burrito that feels
especially right when you want something bold,
filling, and built to keep you going. It’s hearty
enough to feel like a full meal, but easy enough
to grab on the go, making it a strong choice for
lunch breaks, busy afternoons, or anytime conve
nience needs to meet real satisfaction.
And somehow, it’s still just $6.
That’s the magic of this lineup: it feels generous.
It tastes like something you’d go out of your way
for. But it still fits into real life—and real budgets.

THE $6 GRAB & GO MOVE YOU’LL MAKE AGAIN
In a season full of movement—summer errands, beach days, office runs, gym sessions, road
trips,
and everything in between—having an easy meal you can count on matters.
That’s what makes Mother’s $6 burritos such a strong go-to. They’re satisfying, protein-
packed,
easy to grab, and built for the kind of pace people actually live at. Breakfast, lunch, post-
workout, or
whenever hunger hits, they’re the kind of reliable favorite that makes “what should I eat?” a
whole
lot easier.
Three burritos.
Three high-protein options.
Just $6 each.
Honestly? That’s a pretty strong lineup.
THE SAVORY PICK WITH SERIOUS STAYING
POWER
For those craving something rich, bold, and
deeply satisfying, the Baja Steak Burrito brings
the flavor.
With 45g of protein, it’s another standout in the
lineup—hearty, savory, and ideal for the kind of
day when you need a meal that truly delivers. It’s
the kind of burrito that feels like lunch, dinner,
or even a post-gym power move depending on
when you grab it. And because it’s also just $6,
it offers that rare combination of craveability and
value that’s getting harder to find.
It’s quick. It’s satisfying. And it’s proof that grab-
and-go doesn’t have to mean settling.
WHY THEY’RE WORTH THE HYPE
The real appeal of these burritos isn’t just the
price—though $6 is undeniably hard to beat.
It’s that they solve a real everyday problem: find
ing something quick that still feels like a real meal.
Too often, convenient food means sacrificing
quality, satisfaction, or nutrition. But this lineup
checks all three boxes. These burritos are built for
real life—mornings when there’s no time to cook,
lunch breaks that need to count, afternoons that
call for something more substantial than a snack,
or busy days when grabbing something fast
doesn’t mean you want to compromise.
And with 23g, 49g, and 45g of protein, they’re
especially appealing for anyone looking for meals
that do more than just get them through the next
hour.
