Cool Summer Treats

When it’s hot out it’s important to stay hydrated but you also have to eat. Here are eight Summer treats that’ll help keep you cool on the hottest days:

• Frozen Grapes - Always keep some red grapes on hand in the freezer. They’ll quickly cool you down and are a delicious frozen treat.

• Watermelon - Not just a clever name, watermelon is 92% water and will help keep you hydrated, which helps regulate your body temp.

• Greek yogurt and raspberries - Cold yogurt and chilled fruit are a lovely combo.

• Slaw - Whether it’s traditional or broccoli, the vegetable-heavy medley is a refreshing blast of cool during the hottest season.

• Cocktail Shrimp - Chilled cocktail shrimp are high in protein and low in calories.

• Caprese salad - Simple yet delicious. All you need is sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella slices, fresh basil, olive oil or balsamic vinaigrette, and some salt and pepper.

• Cottage cheese - A cool, low-calorie way to get some protein, calcium, and vitamins and minerals.

• Banana Ice Cream - It tastes indulgent, but is actually only made of frozen bananas and peanut butter. Just freeze sliced bananas then add them to a blender with peanut butter and mix until smooth.
