In summer, temptation isn't missing, with tons of unhealthy snacks and foods! Just think about dairies—there's one at each intersection! There's also so much dinner outside, where hot dogs, salad soaked with tons of mayonnaise, chips, and dessert, way too sugary, stack to one another over the table.
There are also these famous kids' parties. If you take the initiative to invite your friends, you have at least some control over the food. Disguise your healthy recipe with many colours; don't set even one plate of candies, and they won't even realize it.
Here are 7 recipes for a successful kids' party!
What's great about chips made of vegetables, is that the more different vegetables you have, the more colours you'll have. The perfect strategy to get attention and make kids eat vegetables easily!
Choose potatoes, sweet potatoes, beetroots, zucchinis, and all other popular vegetables. Slice the vegetables into chips, brush with oil, season with your favourite spices, and set them in the oven. Baking time varies depending on their thickness, but vegetables are ready when dehydrated.
You only need yogurt and fruits to make these simple ice yogurt, lemon and blueberry mini pops. Here's a portion of disguised fruits they'll enjoy! You can substitute blueberries for fruits of your choice or mix many types for more colours.
With intolerances and allergies, recipe preparation can be challenging. Here's one very simple recipe if some of your kids have gluten intolerances and can't eat dairy products: gluten-free rolled cookies with raspberries.
Something would be missing without funny recipes or food at a kid's party. There is no need to make a costly piñata to please your guests. Over crackers garnished with cheese and meat, lay half a cherry tomato with pieces of olive or grape to make head. And here we go! You'll have pretty eatable ladybugs!
With the same thought, transform cucumbers or peppers sliced in 2 into a train that can contain other vegetables! Wheels may be made of carrots, cucumbers, zucchinis, or radish. You'll sure have as much fun preparing it as they will having it eaten!
If it's a meal, it should be sustaining! Made of small canapes or ham or chicken mini hamburgers. It avoids waste since they'll only eat one at a time (it's sometimes hard to negotiate half a hamburger when they think they'll be able to eat one entirely!). All you need is meat into small chunks, a celery branch, a quarter of an onion, a few sliced leeks, mayonnaise (not too much!) and spices of your choice. Mix everything, and you'll get a simple meal.
Instead of a big cake, let's keep it on with small bites with: raspberry mini cheesecakes! Double or triple the recipe depending on how much you are. It can also be kept for a few days if there are leftovers!
