So I was pretty MIA the last week, sorry about that.
I was in Mexico, enjoying the beach and fascinating ruins. I kinda soaked up a little too much sun, though, as I had a weirdly awful recurring case of heat exhaustion.
Now I’m no fitness pro, but I can definitely say that being in the sun has never caused me to be as out of breath or lightheaded as it did this past week!
When it’s crazy hot outside, I’m all about keeping cool in the A/C. And the best wy to do that is with easy refreshing meals that help you beat the heat.
This easy 10-minute recipe for peanut sesame noodles is vegan and so delicious- perfect for lunch or dinner, this meal is a perfect way to avoid the heat! Enjoy xx
