Summer on a plate - recipes for summer snacks

Sunny weather and high temperatures perfectly influence our moods. Vacation time is favorable for walks and trips. Our menu is also becoming more varied - we can use the richness of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Summer on a plate - recipes for summer snacks. willingly 

It is worth considering what we reach for in summer more willingly - for shop ice cream or strawberries? Do we prefer watermelon or flavored water? In most cases, we choose what is easier for us to buy in the form of a finished product. Unfortunately, however, they do not always have a healthy composition. Sweets and ice cream in most cases are sweetened with glucose-fructose syrup, they have the addition of palm oil, dyes and preservatives. And yet the advantages of using seasonal fruit and vegetables are plenty! We only need 5 minutes to create healthy, colorful, summer snacks at home, which we will eat not only as part of a dessert, but also successfully take with us on a holiday trip or picnic. We have prepared a few recipes for summer delicacies (not only for cooling!).

Muscle cramps,

Feeling thirsty - when we feel thirsty it means that our body is already dehydrated.
