“I wanted not to feel slow or heavy when it was already hot outside,” she says. Still, I also wanted not to live on simple salad.
She leaned toward summer vegetables—juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, berries, and peaches. Raw vegetables, canned beans, nut-based dressings, and lots of citrus defined meals. Breakfast came to be chia puddings or fruit smoothies. Dinners might be chilled noodle salads using lime and sesame or hummus bowls.
