With the arrival of warm weather, there is nothing like fresh and light foods. Whether for lunch or dinner, creams, soups, salads, and pasta are ideal options, plus they will help you maintain your diet. We recommend preparing light dinners and not too heavy meals.
Cucumber, tomato, oil, onion, pepper, salt to taste. Just mix these ingredients in a blender and you have a delicious gazpacho in just about 10 minutes. We recommend making it in the morning or early afternoon and letting it rest in the refrigerator until we drink it, that way it will be much colder and tastier.

Lots of Fruits
If you don't usually eat much fruit, summer is perfect for doing so, as we crave it much more. But remember that you should eat at least one piece of fruit a day throughout the year.
The fruit salad allows you to eat a little bit of everything. In the hot months, we recommend melon which can be combined with other explosive flavors like serrano ham, a perfect starter that everyone loves. Other fruits like cherries, watermelon, peaches, or plums are appealing, especially if they are colder.
