Have you noticed?
In a matter of days, our diet preferences have shifted radically – we do not enjoy piping hot drinks anymore, we are tending towards all things cool and comfy. Summers are actually a great time to experiment with drinks. You can use a gamut of seasonal fruits and veggies like mangoes, lemon, and cucumbers to make yourself a range of coolers that not only quench your thirst but also promise an instant burst of energy.
Shakes and smoothies are also an interesting part of summers. Smoothie is a rich yogurt or milk-based preparation, blended with fruits and veggies of your choice. If you happen to be a vegan, you can also alternatives like almond milk and soy milk. In addition to being scrumptious, some smoothies can also aid weight-loss.
Sip on summer’s fruitiest flavors with these five easy-to-make recipes.
