Hot Weather, Cool Food

I find whenever it is humid out my appetite changes completely. I'm not hungry most of the day, but I force myself to eat anyway--I need energy whether it's freezing or super hot. And I find that I've been eating mainly fresh fruit. My newest addiction are kiwis, which you can easily slice in half then eat with a spoon, like you're scooping out ice cream. Yesterday, I ate lunch in the air conditioned student center, and worked there until around 5pm, when I got the strong and sudden craving for bananas, something I didn't pick up. I raced to Price Chopper to purchase some, along with eggs and saran wrap, two staples I neglected to purchase at Trader Joe's.

My next mission is to find some organic fruit produce, since Price Chopper just doesn't cut it.

Luckily, my fridge is stocked with deliciousness.


The best purchase I made was a case of coconut water, since it is vital for days like today, when I sweat excessively. It helps to restore electroyltes, is a great source of potassium and magnesium to regulate blood pressure, and is low in sugar, too. To read more about coconut water, check out Zico's website.
