We recently recommended drinks on our blog that cool and refresh our bodies on hot days, while also tasting great. Well-chosen liquids—no matter how rich in minerals and vitamins—are not everything. Even in summer, we should pay attention to our diet to effectively influence our overall well-being.

Everyone wants to eat healthy and delicious food. Unfortunately, we often take shortcuts and reach for products that only satisfy our hunger for a moment, thus cheating our bodies. So, what should we eat in the summer to fill our stomachs and feel good? Below are some tried-and-true recipes.

Vegetables

Our summer diet should be based on vegetables. They are a source of vitamins and minerals, protein, and fiber, all of which are necessary for proper functioning. Moreover, we have virtually unlimited possibilities for preparation and flavor combinations. Juices , cocktails, and smoothies aren't everything—it's worth incorporating vegetables into complete meals, which will form the basis of our daily menu.

cooler

When it comes to essentials in your daily diet, cold soups are a must! Made with fresh vegetables and natural yogurt, they taste delicious and provide us with the nutrients we need. Another advantage of coolers is that—as the name suggests—they can effectively cool the body while pampering our palate.

Grilled food

Nothing embodies summer quite like a barbecue. However, it's important to remember that the barbecue doesn't have to consist exclusively of meat products. The dishes we prepare don't have to contain excessive amounts of fat. So, what's an ideal alternative to cold cuts and meat? The answer is simple: vegetables! On the other hand, if we do want meat products on the table, we make sure they're accompanied by a healthy, filling salad.

Steamed dishes

In summer, our meals should be primarily easy to digest, but we should also consider that they should have numerous nutritional properties. Steamed dishes seem to be the ideal solution – they are tender, yet healthy and delicious. Moreover, we can steam vegetables, meat, and fish. Properly seasoned, they are not only pleasing to the eye but also to our palate.

fruit

What goes perfectly with dessert? Fresh fruit, of course! Nothing replaces conventional sugar like the fructose contained in fruit. Let's also remember that fruit can be an essential ingredient, or even the basis, of our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We eat it with milk or natural yogurt , add it to salads, and make cold soups. Let's indulge in little pleasures while taking care of our health, well-being, and... beauty.

In the summer, let's try to limit heavy meals that slow down our metabolism. Avoid deep-frying and use salt sparingly. Let's focus on what's delicious and light, while also evoking a feeling of freshness and satiety!
