With Summer fun comes a lot of heat! So, you might be wondering how you can stay hydrated and refreshed while being outdoors enjoying the nice weather. For starters, how about checking out these easy on-the-go tasty food and beverage trends from TikTok?!
1. Italian Grinder Sandwich Salads
If you have been scrolling through TikTok recently, you will likely see examples of the grinder salad being made. This straightforward salad is produced by first preparing a dressing made with mayonnaise and Italian dressing, then adding iceberg lettuce, pepperoncini peppers, sliced red onions, and plenty of seasonings. The creamy grinder salad is served on top of thick bread with a crispy exterior, sliced cheese of your choosing, and Italian-style meats such as salami and prosciutto. Perfect for grabbing on the go and eating in the car or packing for a summer picnic. (But be warned -- it can get messy!)
Move over, Subway; it looks like a new hoagie is in town. And it's here to stay all summer long!

2. Watermelon Pizza
There is nothing quite like a nice slice of cool, thirst-quenching watermelon to satisfy your appetite on a hot day. Even though a simple slice of watermelon is delicious on its own, it'll taste even better if you spice things up by giving the fruit a little bit of a twist. First, you cut the watermelon to get nice even cuts. Afterward, spread on Cool Whip and top that off with any berries or fruit you love, and voilà! Watermelon pizza!

3. Pink Whitney Starburst Slushies
You can turn this alcoholic beverage into a non-alcoholic beverage by simply replacing the lemonade vodka with regular pink lemonade. First, you fill your blender with ice and whatever drink you want in it, add some pink Starburst along with the pink Starburst single to-go powder mix, and you're done. Wasn't that easy?
