Time for some summer coolers

Summer is the time to go for cool, colorful, iced drinks, isn't it? Don't stop yourself from reaching out for one this summer for fear of piling on extra calories. Just ditch the synthetic ingredients for natural, fresh ones, and feel the difference. Watermelon, mangoes, litchis, papayas make great addition to your summer coolers. So stock up on these summer fruits.

Pack a fruity punch

Have some fun with fruits this summer. Squish mangoes, melons, sweet lime to make yummy coolants that can be served as punch everytime you have guests aboard. Alcohol and other beverages tend to dehydrate your body. Stock up on these natural thirst quenchers and have a blast this summer.

Go fresh with salads

Why settle for just chicken salads when you have a whole storehouse of veggie delights like zucchini, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, beans to munch on. Salad not only serves up as scrumptious filler, both is healthy and light summer food.

Limit carb

Eating more carb rich stuff will slow your metabolism. Rather tgo more on fibre rich and less on carb to speed up the metabolic process. A fibre rich diet is both satisfying and healthy. So skip all carb rich veggies and switch to tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and other summer veggies.
