When it's hot out, the last thing you want to do is turn on the oven and let it sit at 300 or so degrees in the middle of your kitchen. So to keep yourself cool, check out these "5 Summer Breakfasts to Beat the Heat" below!
I live in Seattle, so "beat the heat" breakfasts aren't something we often have to deal with. But my partner Sam and I are headed to my mom's cabin in upstate New York in about a week where it's generally quite hot, humid and downright sticky. Even in the mornings. It's right on the lake — which you'd think would help — but that's generally not the case, so cool, easy breakfasts that don't require oven time are the order of the day.
I didn't used to be big on breakfast. I'd often just grab a cup of coffee on my way out the door and slip a granola bar in my bag. While some mornings are just as hectic and rushed these days, I try to make a little more time for what's become my favorite meal of the day. Especially in the summer.
This looks like many things: most often it looks like yogurt with summer fruit and a little yogurt or hemp seeds. I'll mix it up with muesli or make smoothies or parfaits. And while I don't often soak my muesli at home, I do while at the cabin because waking up to a nice, cool bowl of oats is, I find, a great way to start a day at the lake.
What do you eat for breakfast in the heat of the summer?
