With the arrival of summer we change our mental chip: Holiday, heat, field, beach, family gatherings or with friends, hiking, etc. Our meals also will be different from the rest of the year.
The summer feeding undergoes changes mainly by two factors: the weather is warmer and we’re on vacation. Crave fresh food and do not want to spend time cooking. During the holidays the hours are much more relaxed. We went to bed later and rise later. But we must not skip breakfast.
A glass of milk and a slice of bread with olive oil and tomato or a yogurt or fruit juice and cereals provide carbohydrates, calcium and vitamins to start the day with energy.
At home and in restaurant
Heat is one of the determining factors when choosing new dishes. The soups, stews, roasts acids, heavy seasonings think we liked better in the winter. Now we crave dishes lighter and more refreshing.
At home, the ideal is to take meals to prepare on the fly or can be prepared in advance and served at the time of going to lunch. Salads and grilled foods meet these requirements. Wield plenty of salads to eat vegetables.
We can also take them in the form of soups or light cream. Another option for cooking vegetables is to use the grill or oven, not to mention how tasty they are cooked. Vegetables provide carbohydrates and plenty of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber.
