When the summer heat makes cooking the last thing you want to do, these no-cook staples come to the rescue. I’m on ABC Tampa with some delicious, nutritious options to keep you fueled and refreshed—no stove required.
A Sweet, Juicy Superfruit for Summer
Mangos are the ultimate tropical summer fruit—sweet, refreshing, and incredibly nutritious. Just one serving provides over 20 vitamins and minerals, including fiber and folate, with no sodium or cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice. A recent study published in the journal Nutrients found that eating two cups of fresh mango daily may help lower insulin levels and improve insulin sensitivity in overweight adults with chronic low-grade inflammation. Fresh mango supports energy, vitality, and overall well-being with every juicy bite. Add them to smoothies, toss them into salads, spoon over yogurt, or blend into salsa. Learn more about how to pick, cut, and enjoy them at Mango.org.
A Cool and Creamy Snack That Feels Like a Treat
If you’re craving something indulgent that still supports your wellness goals, Clio refrigerated Greek yogurt bars offer the perfect balance. With a cheesecake-like texture and chocolatey coating, they deliver the benefits of Greek yogurt—including protein to keep you full and probiotics to support gut health—in a delicious, convenient format. No spoons or bowls needed, just grab one from the fridge and go. Whether you’re packing a lunch, headed to the beach, or need an afternoon pick-me-up, they make it easy to indulge smartly. Popular flavors like strawberry and vanilla can be found at Publix, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Sam’s Club.
A Better Way to Crunch
When you’re looking for a crunchy snack that delivers more, try Karma Nuts. These wrapped cashews offer twice the fiber and antioxidant activity comparable to blueberries. Instead of being fried in oil, they’re air-roasted for a satisfying crunch and cleaner flavor. With eight bold flavors—including Coconut Crunch, Sea Salt, and Cinnamon—they’re a flavorful, fiber-rich alternative to standard snacks. Available on Amazon and Thrive Market.
No-Cook Protein Made Easy
For a quick and elevated meal option that doesn’t require a stove, Tonnino premium jarred and canned seafood makes all the difference. Options include yellowfin and albacore tuna infused with smoked olive oil and rosemary, or paired with vegetables for added flavor. Their newest release—wild-caught Alaskan Silver Salmon in jars—brings variety and gourmet flair to your summer routine. All products are responsibly sourced with sustainability in mind, making them as environmentally conscious as they are convenient. Look for them at Walmart, Publix, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, and Costco.
