By Thursday afternoon, all remnants of the storm will hopefully have passed through so life can resume as normal, including Dopey training!
With summer's heat and humidity and all things related, I like to enjoy a cold, sweet treat on occasion, especially after a hot run. I'm a sweets fan (bad, I know) and after a long Saturday run in the ridiculous heat and humidity, I usually crave all the cold things!
#1 Fruit
Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, kiwi, grapes, bananas...you name it, I love it! Watermelon is definitely a summer favorite for sure!
#2 Gatorade
I guess it's not truly a "treat" but it's a necessity for me on long hot summer training runs, especially while training with longer distances!
#3 Snoballs
Hello...who wouldn't enjoy one of these after a hot long run?! They are the perfect way to cool down, although you have to eat fast if you're attempting to enjoy it outside!
#4 Smoothies
I know I mentioned it on Monday, but a local juicery opened here and oh my goodness...so many healthy and delicious options were available. I know I'll be a frequent visitor here this summer for sure! Also, nothing beat a nice homemade cold smoothie with a frozen banana and a little fruit...pure heaven!
#5 Iced Coffee
Aaaah yes...a nice cold coffee on a warm summer morning is the perfect way to begin the day! I enjoy these often during the summer!
With all of these yummy treats, I'm destined to survive marathon training during the hot and humid summer months!
What's your favorite summer treat?
I was thinking of you and your family last night when I was watching the news about the storm and flooding. I was hoping you were alright.
ReplyDeleteAll of those things sound refreshing for sure!
Thank you! I'm glad everything was ok!
DeleteEver since I have been pregnant, I have been craving icy drinks like smoothies. For a while my go to was a frozen banana, decaf coffee, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and sometimes protein powder. It was kind of like a frappucino. :) -C
ReplyDeleteOoooh yum that sounds delicious!!
DeleteGlad to hear that you are all ok w the storm down there. I need to get on the iced coffee band wagon I am still drinking it hot
ReplyDeleteYes! I think I'll have one this afternoon, too! :)
DeleteThat snoball looks amazing! I love any cool treat - iced coffee has been growing on me lately!
ReplyDeleteYes!! Iced coffee is perfect in the summer time! :)
DeleteI like fresh fruit in the summer (but sometimes I have to sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar on it because I like the "crunch" of the sugar crystals). I also like a hot chai latte'...yes, even in the summer LOL
ReplyDeleteOooh that sounds yummy!
DeleteI live off smoothies, iced coffee, and ice cream or fro yo in the summer :)
