When temperatures are around 30 degrees, we start to sweat even when standing still. Drinking is essential for maintaining good health and replenishing fluid losses associated with sweating. But too often we believe that drinking lots of water also helps you lose your appetite and lose weight faster. In reality this is one of the false myths that the National Institute of Health itself disproves. An adult woman should drink an average of 2 liters of water per day, which becomes 2.5 liters for men.
In fact, to meet our daily fluid intake we can also replenish fluids with food. And a good way to do this when we don’t want to cook is to make great extracts.
3 refreshing and nutritious drinks to face the heat when we don’t want to eat the usual salad or fruit
We don’t necessarily need the extractor, we can use a normal blender. Of course, if we have an extractor we will be able to better preserve the nutrients of the food. But to imitate the functioning of the extractor we can use the “pulse” function of the blender. And in order not to overheat the internal blades, just put them in the fridge before using them. Just like you do to get a bright green pesto and not let the leaves oxidize. Now let’s see three simple recipes for some really delicious and refreshing extracts that will make the day happen.
For the first extract we will need 6 slices of pineapple, 1 stalk of celery and 2 asparagus. We wash the celery and the asparagus, clean them well eliminating the hardest parts. We cut everything into small pieces coarsely and put the ingredients in the glass of the blender. Operate it in “pulse” mode or alternate by hand 10 seconds of operation with 10 of pause. When the mixture is liquid enough, pour it into the glass and enjoy it.

Let’s get some raw spinach leaves, half a green apple, 100 ml of water and the juice of ½ lemon. We divide the apple into smaller pieces, if organic we can also leave the peel. We put everything in the glass of the blender and operate it as before. We pour into a glass and sip comfortably on the sofa. Finally, the last extract, let’s get 2 tomatoes, 1 little ginger, some cherries and some black cabbage. We wash fruit and vegetables well, remove the cherry stones and mix all the ingredients. Ginger is what will add extra flavor and freshness to this delicious extract.
So, here are 3 refreshing and nutritious drinks to face the heat that are very easy to prepare. Fruit and vegetable extracts are tasty and we can prepare them with lots of different fruits and vegetables. Ideal for lunch, in the evening we can prepare an excellent second course of white meat or fish.
