Top 5 Recipes For When It’s Too Hot Too Cook

If you’re anything like me, as soon as the sun’s out all I want to do is be outside. The last thing I want to do it spend time inside cooking. Turning the oven on? Forget about it. With that in mind here are my top 5 no bake recipes to make when it’s too hot to cook. As originally posted on MyVega.com.

1. Summer Rolls with Mango and Mint Dipping Sauce These rolls are refreshing, light and can be made in less than 30 minutes

2. Collard Green Wraps I love to take these wraps on picnics at the beach. I prep all the ingredients at home and leave the assembly for the beach. Bonus – if you are enjoying these with a group everyone can assemble their own so everyone gets what they want.

3. Overnight Oats Yes, you can eat oatmeal in the summer. Overnight oats are a quick and easy breakfast option you can enjoy when it’s scorching by 9AM.  I like to make mine with seasonal fruits such as berries, cherries and apples.

4. Vegan Protein Balls Perfect for an on-the-go post-workout recovery snack or afternoon at the park snack. I’ll prep a batch and store them in the freeze r until I’m ready to take them on the road with me.

5. Greena Colada Smoothie If you’re in the mood for something that will keep you cool while packing a nutrient-dense punch I recommend trying this smoothie.
