Fruits are the perfect snack in the heat. They are not only low-calorie and tasty, but also uplifting.
Dietitian Vasilisa Ponomareva named five delicious summer fruits for a slim figure especially for MedikForum
1. Ideal for traveling: currant
Currants, like other berries, are pressure sensitive, they are safely packaged in jars, but are good as an on-the-go snack, and at 43 kcal per 100 grams, they are practically irrelevant. Advice to amateur gardeners: the longer the fruit hangs on the bush, the sweeter it becomes.
2. Good for bones and muscles: cherries
At 60 kcal per 100 grams, you can eat cherries without worrying about your figure. However, they are not devoid of nutrients: vitamin C, calcium and magnesium have a positive effect on bones and muscles.
“They are easy to take with you to the office or on a picnic. But be careful: eating too much fruit at a time can have a laxative effect,” Ponomareva warns.

3. Delicious in smoothies: blueberries
The antioxidants, minerals and vitamins they contain make blueberries so popular among people who care about their health and proper nutrition.
Farmed blueberries can be bought in supermarkets all year round, but if you prefer local and seasonal fruits, you can buy from July to September.
4. Summer Snack: Watermelon
Due to its high water content (over 90 percent!), watermelon not only fills you up, but also helps you stay hydrated in hot weather. It also has a sweet taste, although at 20 kcal per 100 grams it contains almost no sugar, but contains potassium, vitamin C and calcium.

“They suppress the feeling of hunger – a large amount of fiber curbs appetite for a long time. And all this with only 40 kcal per 100 grams.”
