Let Them Eat Cake! – Healthy Alternatives For Special Occasions
Every special occasion is commemorated with a special dish – cakes for birthdays, pancakes for Sunday breakfast and Biryani for family get-togethers. Cooking a sumptuous meal for a loved one is one of the nicest things to do. Unfortunately, the problem with special treats is that they are often loaded with excess carbs and sugar. These are incredibly unhealthy if consumed in excess quantities or quite often. But there’s no need to fret; there are many easily adaptable, healthy alternatives to these sinful delicacies. Whether you’re looking for birthday cake alternatives or heavy lunch meal alternatives, all you need to do is look for the right recipes. And Nutralite Pure Ghee or chocolate spread are some of the best ways to make them healthier.
For elaborate, celebratory family dinners, add an extra dose of fibre by preparing Biryani with brown rice instead of the regular white rice – that’s when you have instantly made an extremely unhealthy dish, nutritious and healthy. Similarly, make stove-cooked, low-fat Tandoori Chicken by using the breast (low-fat) and replacing the oil with the slightest bit of Nutralite. A wonderful replacement for oil or butter, Nutralite is a zero-cholesterol spread which has Omega 3, essential for a heart healthy diet. For Vegetarians, a bowl of baked vegetables on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes with gravy, is a sure winner. A general rule to follow would be to pack your food with vegetables and proteins in large quantities, while also including good carbs like brown rice, sweet potatoes, yams, etc. in limited quantities. It is important not to leave out any food group for a well-balanced diet.
For dessert, quite a few options are available. While traditionally, baking has always been associated with highly calorific ingredients like butter, flour and sugar, there are many ways to make a cake without them. Looking to make some delicious mouth-watering but healthy cakes? Replace white flour with whole wheat flour. There are many healthier dessert options that you can try as well – flourless chocolate cake, flourless lemon almond cake, paleo muffins, etc. When making cheesecake, replace heavy cream with Greek yoghurt and voila! Your cheesecake is loaded with protein and probiotics. Use natural sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, applesauce, etc) instead of sugar. For toppings, instead of regular frosting, go for fresh fruit toppings or whipped cream
Alternatives to Cakes For Birthdays
For those seeking a unique twist on traditional birthday celebrations, consider these delightful cake alternatives. Indulge in a decadent chocolate fondue, where guests can dip fresh fruits, marshmallows, choco spread and cookies into velvety smooth chocolate. Alternatively, create a personalized dessert bar featuring an assortment of mini treats like cupcakes, macarons, and tarts. For a healthier birthday cake alternative, a vibrant fruit platter adorned with edible flowers and a drizzle of honey offers a refreshing and visually stunning centerpiece. And let’s not forget the classic ice cream sundae bar, where guests can customize their own creations with various toppings and sauces. These creative alternatives promise to make any birthday celebration memorable and delicious.
