The greatest thing about having healthy wedding food is that it really it means your guests will be full of energy for all that disco dancing you have planned. Well, that’s the theory!
If you and your partner want to avoid too many fatty foods and want to invigorate rather than saturate, then here are a few ideas for a vitamin-filled spread that doesn’t have to cost the earth either!
Add Color with Fresh Veggies
Offering a table of raw fruits and vegetables will not only make an impression, but will also look fantastic. The trick is to have plenty of veggies arranged in a colourful manner and to have some tasty dips to add depth of flavour for your guests. Consider having hummus, an aubergine dip or soft cheese for your guests to enjoy with finely sliced veggies. Carrots, celery, and courgette can all look and taste great if we combine them with something rich but still healthy.
Next to this, you can have a few giant bowls of fruit salad, perhaps have a tropical fruit selection. The colours will really set the mood for this type of health-conscious eating.
Naturally, you could even consider having an Indian vegetarian selection that will usually tick most boxes. A lentil dal and lime pickle with a chapatti can be a great way to eat for a change and reduces the fat content in your diet. Why not explore the range of foods we associate with an Indian Thali?
MainDish Options
If your budget allows fresh fish, it can be a wonderful main dish; if it is locally sourced, it does not have to break the bank either. A grilled trout with fresh green salad is full of minerals and nutrients that will satisfy the more refined eaters' expectations of a celebratory meal!
If you want to impress with healthy foods, then why not explore some vegan options like quinoa, tofu or grilled root vegetables? This type of food requires a little expertise and planning. With some tried and tested vegan combos, you can offer lots of taste and relish in the knowledge that plant-based diets also help to ease environmental strains on the planet!
For breads, there are so many choices. For some people, gluten free bread is an important consideration and if you know a good bakery, it can be really tasty and satisfying. Sour bread is another bread type that ticks plenty of healthy boxes. For some, however, the flat breads or unleavened varieties are key to this conscious eating.
If it is a more mixed offering you have in mind, then try to chat with a butcher who can offer you free-range poultry and meats. The truth is that the quality of flavour is always evident when eating these kinds of products and with a more health-orientated crowd, it will surely be quality over quantity every time. A good free-range chicken besides a salad bar, topped off with some bio or organic fruits, sounds like a delicious and nutritious celebration!
