If you have chosen to participate in the Meal Frequency Challenge, you’ll be eating your afternoon snack soon (which should also be your 4th time eating today).  Given we are experiencing another very hot day, I wanted to remind you of some foods that are perfect for a day like today.

One of the worst things that can happen on a hot day is dehydration.  Aside from drinking lots of water, you can also eat the following foods to stay hydrated and refreshed:
~ watermelon, honey dew melon, pineapple, peaches, pears, plums, cherries, apples, blueberries, grapes
If you plan ahead, stick your fruit in the freezer the night before and take it to work with you the next day for an extra chilling snack.  Add some greek yogurt for your protein.  Another way to get your protein in a cool refreshing snack is with a protein smoothie.  If you have a blender at work, AWESOME…if not, look into getting one.
Try this fruit protein smoothie recipe:
1/2 cup crushed ice
1/2 cup frozen fruit
1 cup of low fat milk, dairy free milk or juice
Start mixing in blender until smooth and then slowly add
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
Add more liquid if needed and ENJOY!
