In this new blog we will be sharing 9 hacks you'll find so handy that you’ll be using them all summer long!
Hack #1: Freeze lemon slices or berries in ice cubes
This first hack will add instant flavour and colour to your summer drinks. Simply add lemon slices or berries (strawberries or blueberries) into an ice cube tray, fill it with water and place it in the freezer. When you want a refreshing drink, just add some of these fruit ice cubes to your beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
Hack #2: Sprinkle salt on watermelon
Once you try this next hack, you’ll never go back to eating watermelon the old way again. Sprinkle a little salt on watermelon to instantly boost the sweetness! Mind blowing, right?
Hack #3: Roll oranges, lemons or limes before cutting
Want to get more juice out of oranges, lemons or limes? Roll them for several seconds before cutting them, then juice them. Simple but it works!
Hack #4: Veggie sticks in water
Cut up veggies (carrots and celery) and place them in a fridge container with water to keep them crispy and fresher for longer. Easily grab them whenever you feel like a quick and healthy snack. Remember to change the water every 2 to 3 days to keep them fresh.
Hack #5: Freeze grapes
Want a refreshing snack to cool down this summer? We’ve got you covered. Freeze grapes, then grab them when you want a quick snack. They’re also great to pop in your drinks as edible ice cubes.
Hack #6: Rinse berries in vinegar & water
Do you enjoy having berries during summer? Then you’ll be needing this hack to extend their freshness and to remove bacteria. Before eating them, soak them in vinegar and water (1: 4 ratio) for 5 minutes, thoroughly rinse with water, let them completely dry, then store them in a fridge container. Our Keep.me Fresh containers make this so quick and easy.
Hack #7: Cucumber ribbons
Cucumbers are great to add to a summer salad. Instead of cutting them up, use a peeler to make ribbons. Throw them in a salad or use as garnish in drinks and platters. So simple and it quickly elevates your salads, drinks or platters.
Hack #8: Freeze fruits
A refreshing smoothie is the perfect way to cool down during summer. Freeze fruits (e.g. bananas, strawberries, blueberries) then take them out to whip up a smoothie on demand.
Hack #9: Lemons in fridge container
Lemons have so many handy uses - cleaning, deodorising, cooking and in drinks. To keep them fresher for longer, store them in a fridge container with the air vents open to allow air circulation.
