It's hotter than hot and you're hungry, but you know a full belly is just the thing to make you feel sick in this heat. What do you do? If you're like me, just the thought of heavy foods makes you queasy while it's hot. You want something that will satiate your hunger without making you feel like that Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but what should you eat?
Whether you want something light and refreshing, you're trying to cut calories or up your water intake, you can make the switch to foods with high water content to help you feel full without getting a heavy stomach this summer. Here are just a few great ideas to snack on or make into a meal; what would you add?
Cucumbers! These are best right from the garden if you grow them. So good.
Apples! Between the fiber and water, you fill up and hydrate--and you get to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Watemelon! It's the perfect time of year for it and it's so tasty. Cantalope, too!
Salads. Summer salads are so satisfying (say that 10 times fast).
Pineapple, oranges, raspberries... make your own fruit salad!
