Seasonal changes

Jason Yang-Yogurt and green tea

Jason Yang, 25, a news reporter, said that he always has yogurt and green tea. "I have yogurt everyday. It is an excellent source of protein, calcium and vitamins. Compared to milk, yogurt contains more calcium and protein because of the added cultures," he said. "Green tea is a better choice in summer".

The cheaper, the better

Susan Chan-Chicken noodles in peanut sauce

One of Chan's favorite meals to bring to work is chicken noodles in peanut sauce from he nearby 7-Eleven market.

"I love it because it is cheap and fast. The price is unbeatable at less than 10 yuan, especially with inflation on the rise! The noodle box is clean and easily portable. Once you open it, all you have to do is dump in the cucumber, ground peanuts, mushroom and chicken slices. It is delicious, cheap and fast," she said.

Homemade food is best

Che-Cucumber yoghourt

"Summer is around the corner, and eating yogurt will make you thirstier," Che said. To combat the thirst, he came up with a recipe for cucumb yogurt.

"You can take a cucumber with you if you want to share with your colleagues-and a small knife. It is easy and convenient to make it," he said.

Step One: Open the yogurt and pour it into your cup.

Step Two: Use your knife to cut the cucumber into small pieces. The smaller, the better.
