It's hot out there. So hot that gathering the will to leave an air-conditioned room is basically the most that can be expected from any one person right now.
And yet, we as a society have chosen to keep living life through the dog days ofsummer。继续施压。但如果你想成为一个of those people who gets out of bed and makes it to work despite the weatherman's prediction of another 5 million–degree heatwave, you're going to need some energy.
My suggestion: start the day like aStarbucks-crazed Japanese millennialand enjoy some coffee gelatin topped with a whipped coffee slushie. Sound complicated? It's not. In fact, if you make the 3-ingredient coffee jelly ahead of time, the extra-caffeinated drink will be ready within minuteswith the help of a blender。(Plus it's topped with whipped cream, which always makes life worth living.)
After you've battled the oppressive heat of your commute, you're going to need to rehydrate. Hopefully you've packed along a jug of this green tea–coconut water concoction from Australian chefGuy Turland。This is like spa water on steroids, with cucumber slices, chia seeds, aloe juice, and mint providing cooling, energizing refreshment.
After work, there's the gym. But there's no need to stock up on neon energy drinks before your workout. Our delicious DIY version will get you there, get you through it, and get you home. It's filled with restorative electrolytes and antioxidants, and gets a kick from spicy, fresh ginger. Bonus: that bright yellow color isall natural。
On your way home, grab a pint of green tea ice cream and a box of cornflakes for dessert. It may sound like an odd combination, but in a#WillItAffogatostroke of brilliance, our friends atBon Appétitcame up with an invigorating dessert of hot, matcha-infused almond milk poured over chilly green tea ice cream. The cornflakes provide a sweet, nutty crunch on top, and you can eat any leftover cereal for breakfast the next morning. Since, apparently, we've agreed to do it all over again tomorrow.
