Simple Summer Snacks to Stay Cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿฅต Tired of summer yet?

Beat the heat with these cooling foods โคต๏ธ

Cooling foods work because they promote hydration and provide electrolytes.

So rather than grab that bag of chips or salty snack, stay cool with these refreshing summer snacks:

๐Ÿฅฅ Coconut Water

Coconut water is rich in minerals, including potassium and magnesium. Similar to sports drinks, it can replenish fluids and electrolytes.

๐Ÿ‰ Melons

Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are delicious summer fruits that provide antioxidants and hydration. Did you know cucumbers are also melons?

๐Ÿง‰ Peppermint Iced Tea

Peppermint can ease digestion and freshen breath, but it is also cooling. Try it iced when the heat picks up!

๐ŸŒฑ Cilantro

Cilantro is packed with micronutrients, having a gentle detoxifying effect. Sprinkle it over a melon salad or into your water or spritzer.
