Share
After what feels like months of cloud and rain, a new weather forecast predicts a very welcome return of summer sunshine at the end of this week.
With temperatures expected to rise as high as 30C, Senior Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley from meal-prep service HelloFresh has provided expert advice for staying hydrated through the foods you eat.
Mimi said: “There are plenty of foods that contain high water content to help keep you hydrated. If you’re looking for a cold dish to enjoy in the sun, make sure to jam pack your salad bowl with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and bell peppers, as these all feature high water content, as well as packing plenty of flavour into your dish.
“Alternatively, for a warmer dish, soups and broths are ideal for hydration and vegetables like cabbage and cauliflower are the perfect additions for added water content.
“For a delicious snack, I’d recommend creating kebab sticks full of your favourite fruits and dipping them in plain yoghurt. Plain yoghurt and fruits such as, grapefruit, strawberries, oranges and peaches are the perfect foods that contain high water content and will keep you hydrated to get you through the heatwave.”
Here are some of the best recipes to enjoy to keep you hydrated during the soaring temperatures.
Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Tomato Salad
