10 Summer Foods
Hello my lovely steemians! I am here with another blog. You know I love you all and I write for you. It is time for you to have some "Food" FUN! (Spoiler Alert)
Health & Wellness is my thing but who says you can't enjoy the mouth watering too? Especially when the time is hot although it is kinda not so much now, you can stay healthy and eat flavorfully.
When the temperatures start climbing, we often don't feel especially hungry. The temperature extremes of the hot blasting outdoors and freezing air conditioned indoors sometimes takes away our appetite. Sometimes if you aren't carefully you strap a water hose to your mouth. Here, though, are ten good snacks for you when you feel like it's too hot to even eat!
1. Chilled Hard Boiled Eggs: They're small, easy to consume and pack a punch of protein. Add a sprinkle of salt and you're all set.
2. Smoothies: The ultimate vessel to deliver whatever nutrients you require to last you throughout the day. Although smoothie shops sell you ridiculously large portions, a small 12 ounces is enough to get some serious nutrition without leaving you with a growly stomach.
3. Frozen Grapes: There is a severe cult following for this simple snack, just toss any bunch of grapes straight in the freezer. The end result is something that requires chewing and has a pleasant tang without being a milk-based dessert or snack.
4. Cold Noodle Dishes: It might be Soba or some Buckwheat noodles, but either way you can create sauces with big flavor and deliver them in a crisp, cool manner.
5. Ice Cream: Although it might not offer anything nutritionally, it is still the go to snack for many that are staring high temperatures in the face. A cool bowl of almost any flavor is usually more than welcome (even if it's only breakfast!).
6. Water: Even though you don't eat water (though we've lived in some cities we swore we did), it's a great way to cool down your insides and put off hunger for a little while longer until you're ready to consume a real meal instead of snacking.
7. Spicy Foods: Many will tell you that a good and spicy curry (Indian or Thai) is the way to go because it makes you sweat. We're still not 100% sure of the science behind this method, so if it works for you, awesome, if not, see number 5!
8. Jerky: Although there's tons of fresh fruit available during the sweltering heat, you might not always want the sugar (even if natural) that comes with it. A nibble of homemade jerky is a great alternative, plus gives you some substance unlike some of the other options above.
9. Watermelon: Growing up, Sunday dinner in the summer was 1/4 or 1/2 of a watermelon and a spoon. We're not sure if it was the cool melon itself that made us feel better or the eating process where we got a fare amount of it on us during the process, but either way, watermelon is slushy and juicy without busting out a blender!
10. Spring Rolls: We have to say up front that any food shaped like a burrito is a winner in our book, but when the summer sun heats up, spring rolls are an easy dish to throw together, especially if you take a few minutes to do the prep work ahead of time. Add your choice of protein and you have a complete meal without adding any heat!
