A child’s party is not
generally known for having a lot of healthy foods, but who ever said that there
could not be natural, healthy options? Sandwiches are a great option for these
events because they are easy for kids to pick up and eat. Since you are in the control, you can make
them as health as you want and still keep it fun for the kids!
If you can, bake your own
bread at home or buy it from one of the many craft bakeries with their own oven
that offer sliced bread. You will cut down on unwanted sugars and fats and keep
the sandwiches tasting really fresh. Go
for fresh, natural, low-fat fillings and steer clear of sauces and fatty
cheeses. Here are some great options:
Tropical Mixed Sandwich!
A touch of fruit turns a
classic sandwich into a fun, natural snack. Add a thin slice of pineapple
between some slices of low-fat ham or turkey and low-fat cheese. It’s really
tasty and refreshing too!
Cream Cheese and Walnut Sandwich
Crush a handful of walnuts
and mix together with a tub of low-fat cream cheese. You can then use this to
play with different shapes. Use flatbread and make a wrap, use a glass to make
them into circles just the right size for a kid’s hand or make them fun and use
different cookie cutters to make them into fun shapes!
Popeye sandwich
Mix the contents of several
well-strained tins of tuna in olive oil with a little low-fat mayonnaise and a
few drops of lemon. Spread on some slices of bread and add some fresh spinach
leaves. It’s a great source of protein! Use a dense kind of bread or fill pita
bread halves so that bread doesn’t get soggy if it isn’t going to be eaten
right away.
