Nourishing mango smoothie
In an article about “How to eat less and cook in the summer,” a nutritionist advised: if you lose your appetite in the heat – make a smoothie. This way you will support your body and reduce the risk of overeating in the evening. A nutritious smoothie with mango, banana, and cereals may even replace breakfast or lunch on hot days!

Rice milk can be replaced with coconut milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based drink to taste or even water. The recipe includes red currants – use combinations from this recipe as a base to enjoy this seasonal berry.
As a nutritionist advises, it’s a good idea to make sure to eat seasonal foods in the middle of the summer. Berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs – if you can buy them fresh, give them preference over processed foods and even more so over sweets.
