Freeze your fruit

It is extremely hot and, while I love all things gelato and sorbet, I can only tolerate so much dairy and sugar. Plus, the water content (maybe?) helps keep you hydrated. Double plus, I tend to lose my appetite in the heat and fruits have fiber and vitamins. Third plus, kids (or at least my nieces) love the novelty of a (usually squishy) frozen solid strawberry or grape.

Add’l rec: Freeze some citrus slices to take your water or soda to the next level.
