Staying hydrated in warmer weather is important, and for me you just can't beat a nice cool drink of water … perhaps with a slice of lemon in it. I keep a jug of cooled water in the fridge, remembering to keep it topped up as necessary.
Our choice of foods can also help keep us cooler and hydrated. Choices like cucumbers, green peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, strawberries, papaya, grapefruit, butternut squash, cantaloupe and radishes to name a few.
A summer thirst quenching favourite choice could be a watermelon pizza

Of course, not all foods mentioned above may be liked, or indeed suitable for all, so please bear in mind any food allergies, health conditions and with grapefruit, for example, care should be taken if on certain drugs.
On a personal note I am including cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, radishes and strawberries in my menu plan, melon is nice too ... how about you?
All the best Jan
...the watermelon pizza looks cool.
ReplyDeleteWatermelon pizza! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice temperature at 32 deg C, but it's also getting towards hot.
ReplyDeleteKeep cool.
Looks good. I just had yogurt with fresh strawberries for lunch, yummy! Valerie
ReplyDelete32 is just perfect for us dear Jan as we are having here around 50 Celsius :)
ReplyDeletemelon and lemon are included in our diet in daily biases
best wish for you days ahead my friend!
The watermelon looks so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon pizza looks very refreshing :)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI like watermelon but not on a pizza. The tomatoes, peppers and strawberries all sound great! Have a great day!
LOL, I just checked out the pizza recipe, it is good.
ReplyDeleteI love that watermelon pizza!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I love the longer hours of daylight but am not so fond of the heat! These are good ideas...I drink a lot of sun tea.
ReplyDeleteI like that watermelon pizza
ReplyDeleteMint water is also very refreshing :-) The watermelon pizza looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteFor those who love fruit, like me, any fruit can be refreshing.
ReplyDeleteCold water and cold soda water are my favorite cooling beverages.
I am glad not to be heading into summer. And am STILL drinking lots of water.
ReplyDeleteStay cool, stay hydrated, stay safe.
Love watermelon but I think I like it best plain.
ReplyDeleteOur summers don't get very hot here by me. Most of the time it feels like one long spring.
I would love to have a watermelon that was as good as one my brother gave us one time...I have always liked watermelon okay, but that one I loved.
ReplyDeletethat pizza looks divine.
ReplyDeletewell, we have been making deli sandwiches at home the last two nights. sour dough bread, sliced turkey breast, roma tomatos, red onions, spinach leave, mayonnaise with garlic and onion powder and a slice of provolone on top. It's yummy! We aren't that hot here in the mountains so I'm happy about that.
hope you find cool places literally.
Thankfully, I have air conditioning, because 32 C is lower than I experienced today. Nicely prepared summertime treats, though.
ReplyDeleteWondering if I could do this cantaloupe. Not a water mellon.
ReplyDeleteCold bottled water flavored with a packet of Crystal Light Lemonade Powder is my go-to drink...after plain cold bottled water (the Mister keeps plenty on hand for me/us). That watermelon pizza looks so delicious! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWishing You a Happy & Safe Weekend, my friend!
Hot tea over here, with ginger/fresh mint and such :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat I find difficult this year: Fruits are horrible. My strawberries were sour, the water melons we bought so far not sweet, raspberries, sour...
Watermelons are annoying because of the pips. I'm afraid I might swallow them and they grow inside me.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It would be nice to reach those temperatures...20 is our hottest day so far.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky I love to drink water, I know there are many that don't care for drinking water alone. That watermelon pizza looks delicious and just perfect on a hot day!!
ReplyDeleteI have had the watermelon pizza before and it is so yummy!
ReplyDeleteStay Safe 🌷
Ooh I love watermelon, but I thought this was a cheesecake, so just this once it disappointed me lol. Take care and have a very happy weekend, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks very refreshing
ReplyDeleteseems to be hot all over the globe. In Sweden too :(
ReplyDeleteThat watermelon pizza is pretty. I was also thinking "smoothies" looking at your list of suitable veg.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so very inviting. I might just have to accept the invitation!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that watermelon pizza looks delicious!xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a 'cool' idea.
ReplyDeleteThe best to eat whatever's the weather like.
