Healthy Party Dig up

Instead of holding your child’s next birthday bash at a fast-food chain, try this nutritious spread at home instead. A nutrition-filled spread guaranteed not to spoil the fun at kiddie’s parties.


In the aged of fast-food, kids are overexposed to burger, French fries, hotdogs, fried chicken, chips, and loads of sweet desserts. It is important for kids to get proper nutrients every day. Offering them healthier alternatives is a great first step to healthy eating habits.
Main Course:
Burgers in fast-food chains usually contain a lot of preservatives and are highly greasy. Instead of bringing your child to a fast-food chain the next time she wants burgers and fries.  Why not prepare them yourself at home? Burgers can be made healthier by using lean parts and by grilling instead of frying them. There more alternatives to beef; you can use minced chicken, tuna, tofu, or veggie meat. Baked potato wedges are healthier substitute to French fries.

Desserts:
Instead of sugar-and-fat-loaded desserts like cookies, ice cream, and candies, serves fresh-fruit skewers or other fried chips, why not start serving baked versions or replacing them with homemade trail mix? Get your kids involved by putting up a snack counter where they can make their own trail mix.

Drinks: 
Opt for serving fresh fruit juice. Stick with real fruit juice and water and limit the intake of packed drinks that contain a lot of preservatives and sugar. Remember that the word “drink” (i.e. “orange juice-drink”) on the packaging is not 100% fruit juices are have additives.

Making food for your children ensures you of the ingredients that go into the food that they eat. Children may not be accustomed to these kinds of food, but they will enjoy it once they become familiar to the unique taste and flavor.
