Your Birthday Party does not necessarily mean that you need to binge on junk food on that day. You and your guests can have healthy and tasty food and enjoy it, as everything depends on the preparation. Normally the food served at birthday parties are candy, chips and dips, soda and cake. You can go for an innovative menu that will be kind to your friends, family and everyone you care about.
Treat Yourself Better on Special Occasions
We need to use the knowledge that we learn from health articles and apply them to our lives, so that we can make life-style changes. The choice is ours, whether we would like to continue with junk food or go for a diet that is kind to our bodies, particularly on special occasions. In fact, we need to be kinder to ourselves on special occasions.Firstly, we need to choose foods that have some nutritional value - if it has none at all, we are doing a disservice to ourselves. Making a change on special occasions by providing a menu that is not only healthy and nutritious, but also tasty and scrumptious, will be an eye-opener to all friends and children alike.
Healthy Cooking Ideas
It is not difficult to come up with a healthy menu. Why go for onion dips that are fattening - why not go in for low fat yogurt instead, and have fresh strawberries, bananas and apples as a fruit for the dip. Apart from being healthy, it is also delicious. The usual hamburgers, pizzas and hot dogs that are thrown in at birthday parties can be substituted with tasty turkey sandwiches and an unusual salad. This would cut out the junk food.
Now, we come to the dessert, which needs to be carefully thought out, as children love desserts and cake. Instead of piling up the fat on the cake with creamy icing, you would do well to go for a low fat dessert. You could either make or get a low fat cake, and use yogurt instead of butter, margarine and other fatty ingredients. The cake will be equally tasty and nutritious. It could be decorated with chocolate strawberries, which will be popular with kids and adults alike. Jello can be made in different shapes which again is popular with kids. There are so many juices in all flavors to choose from, which can be frozen. This is another popular item with kids.The list is endless - all it requires is a little imagination and time to create a delicious spread. It is true that the easier way is to order pizzas and cake, but with that extra effort and care, you can turn that birthday party around to make it a wonderful spread that is healthy, enjoyable and delicious.
