January temperatures are on track to be a real scorcher.

Sydneysiders have already sweated and sweltered through the hottest January night since records started.

So, how do you beat the heat?

We’ve rounded up a selection of cool food that will work well on hot summer days.

Kickstart the day with a healthy, frozen breakfast bowl.

Manly cafe Bare Naked Bowls has answered the call for low-carb breakfasts with its own light and fruity bowls.

The bowls star two trendy superfoods — acai, which comes from the Brazilian jungle, and dragon fruit, or pitaya, the bright-pink fruit sourced from a cactus.

Frozen, then whipped up with almond milk and bananas, and topped with a granola, chia seeds and sliced fruit, these pretty bowls are perfect for hot-weather breakfast dates.

Doing lunch? Then pop around the corner to Native Feel Real, where clean eating comes into its own.

The menu at this concept cafe is chock-a-block with raw, unprocessed food.

Native’s food philosophy focuses on food preparation using undressed, unrefined food not heated above 44C.

Healthy eats here include the house salad bowl, and a raw pizza topped with “cashew cheese”.

Ceviche, the South American dish made with raw fish “cured” with lime is a light new addition to The Newport’s summer menu.

Head chef Jordan Toft peps it up with avocado, white onion, thin slices of radish, jalapeños, green mango, coconut water and crunchy tostadas.

In Narrabeen, Off The Hook Fish Cafe has the Hawaiian version of raw fish on its menu.

It features raw kingfish, avocado salad, brown rice and a soy dressing.

Then there’s always Daniel San for a hot-weather feast.

The Manly beachfront Japanese rock 'n' roll bar has its sushi and sashimi loveboat, containing sashimi, sushi and nigiri.
