But as many people would assume, making healthier food preparations may taste really bland and would really ruin a rather perfect day. Fortunately, here are some healthy food ideas which you can do to make it a very healthy get-together without sucking all the fun out.
Always go natural! Picnics, most of the time, happen during spring or summer season. And just in time it is also the season when fruits and vegetables are abundant. Therefore you can always have some fruits to bring or prepare for picnics such as mangoes, apples, and oranges. Summer fruits such as berries, peaches, watermelons, and cherries are also good ideas. As for the vegetables, prepare something with tomatoes, zucchinis and corns.
Prepare some dishes out of these vegetables and fruits. Make a very healthy and fresh fruit salad with summer fruits and add some low fat dressing. Your kids will surely enjoy it without you getting worried about too much bad things being digested.
If you are very positive about grilling some meat, make sure that you are using lean meat with less fat. Watch how much salt and other additives you are putting. And to add more color to your grilled meat, grill some vegetables such as corns, red peppers, zucchinis, portobello mushrooms and some other grill-able vegetables.
Picnics should be fun above all, so you should never rain on it by preparing some bland foods. Try these healthy food ideas for picnics so that you can assure of their health and fun at the same time.
