Healthy Catering for a Kids Birthday Party


When planning a kids birthday party, the first thought is “oh well it only comes around once a year”, then head to the supermarket to stock up on lollies, cakes, chips, and little red sausages.
However, your kids birthday party might only come around once a year, but multiply that by 25-30 kids in the class, plus family and friends kids birthday parties, and theoretically your child could easily go to 2 or more birthday parties in a weekend!! That equates to a lot of sugar and wall climbing!
By honest now, how many of us limit our child’s intake of junk food to birthday parties only. So let’s explore the possibility of providing a choice of healthy, nutritious and interesting food for your child’s next birthday party.
It could be a good idea to ask on the invites if there are any guests coming with food allergies or intolerances, to let you know a week before the party to allow you time to plan, shop and cook.
The most common types of food related conditions are:
  1. Coeliac – can’t tolerate the protein gluten, found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
  2. Diabetic – a condition where there is too much glucose (sometimes referred to as sugar) in the blood.
  3. Nut allergies – if you have peanut allergy it’s safer to avoid all nut products. Read full blog here
