Cooler Plates For Hotter Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If summer had a rulebook, \u201cchoose refreshing, not regrettable\u201d would be on page one. One of the secrets to staying cool, healthy, and sustainable in summer is sticking to seasonal and local foods\u2014fruits, veggies, pulses, and all that fresh goodness.

Skip the caffeine, booze, and extra spicy street food. Instead, load up on hydrating powerhouses like watermelon, cucumbers, and coconut water and opt for light meals like chilled soups, smoothie bowls, salads and yoghurt-based drinks. Keep it extra fresh by adding mint, fennel, or basil seeds \u2013 not just for great taste, but because beating the heat starts from within, keeping you fresh, light, and ready to roll. So, honour the first commandment of summer: Thou shalt eat to chill, not to grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
