Keep the Heat Off with Easy No-Cook Breakfasts
In the sweltering days of summer, the last thing I want to do is cook anything over a hot stove. It’s the perfect time for those easy breakfasts where no heat is required and there are more than a few ways to do it.
Smoothies

Parfaits
Yogurt layered with your favorite healthy ingredients (including nuts, seeds, granola, whole-grain cereal and fruit) makes a light and cool breakfast.
