I am throwing a bachelorette party for my vegetarian/dieting friend. What are some healthy food ideas?

Question

She doesn't want to gain weight before the wedding and wants "medium healthy" level food. Thanks

Answer 1

california rolls, and diet philidelphia rolls (meatless sushi), carrot sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, and cellery with a spinach dip. also vegetable dumplings make good finger foods

Answer 2

Other than what's already been suggested, I would reccomend that if are going to serve sour cream with the chips (I also reccomend whole grain), salsa and guacamole and cheese with the salad, put them separate. There are people who might be staying away from cheese and sour cream becuase of the fat issue. There might be a vegan or two there, as well. Also, some people, like a friend fo mine, just doesn't like cheese.

Also, for a cake, try the following. I take it to potlucks and get compliments on it. I also use whole wheat flour instead of white, and substitute apple sauce for the oil, so it's fat free. Healthy chocolate cake. Yay.

ngredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
3 cups flour (680 grams)
2 cups sugar (450 grams)
6 tablespoons cocoa (100 grams)
2 teaspoons baking soda (10 cc's = 10 ml)
1 teaspoon salt (5 cc's = 5 ml)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (200 cc's)
2 tablespoon vinegar (30 cc's)
2 teaspoon vanilla (10 cc's)
2 cup cold water (480 cc's)


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes two layers of a two-layer 9-inch or 8-inch round cake, or one small sheet cake. When cool, frost it.

Frosting:
Chocolate Frosting/Glaze

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 cup of sugar
1/2 of a teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 of a cup of cocoa powder
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons - 3 tablespoons of vanilla soy milk

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Use more soymilk for glaze, less for frosting.

For chocolate-mint: add some peppermint extract, you can add less vanilla if you want. Probably 1/8 of a teaspoon, I have never measured, all I know is it is a very small amount, just a couple drops or so.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Strippers are a horrible suggestion. Naked stranger(s) combined with alcohol in a social gathering surroundings...? Someone is certain to do some thing they will remorse for the relaxation in their lives; probably your pal, probably even you. And allow's now not even speak approximately sickness and dying if any individual will get over excited or will get to almost a frame orifice. It best takes a couple of seconds. Even if odds are towards it, it is *now not valued at it*. Overall, it is *now not valued at it*. We're continuously informed for the duration of our society how so much a laugh porn, strippers, and the entire unfastened intercourse unfastened love factor is. We seldom listen approximately the excruciating discomfort and harm it does. Go out together with your peers. Dress up, have a laugh, drink up if that is what you are into (simply have a unique motive force so nobody dies from *that*). But preserve sexuality out of it. You'll be comfortable you probably did. I promise you.

Answer 4

I'd go for salsa rather than fatty dips like hummus. You can also make a low cal dip by blending silken tofu with onion soup mix or your own blend of spices. Serve with crudites and baked pita chips. Vegetable sushi is also a good idea, as is bruschetta. If it's a more formal occasion, a blended soup could be nice. For more substantial fare, you can try veggie and/or tofu kebabs. Sticking with the kebab idea, for sweets, fruit kabobs drizzled in fruit syrup are yummy, but you can also make something like low fat brownies or cupcakes for a more indulgent choice. Since they're already in single serving size, it'll be easier for her to control her intake (as long as you don't make too many!) Check out this website for more ideas and recipes:

Answer 5

SNACKS: guacamole but with veggies for dippers rather than chips, cheese plate. um you can serve other stuff for the guests unless you're trying not to temp the bride, humous...whoo a whole middle-eastern persian theme is good. loads of dips like babaganoush(roasteggplant) and hummous.
MEAL: big *** salads with cheese, there are some really yummy hearty ones that are not the annoy 'veggie' option that makes us veggies say 'is that all'. some nice arugula, goat cheese and pears.... check out epicurous.com or foodtv.ca for salad ideas... or casseroles, curried stews or veggie chili.

if she is trying to fit into a dress, the carbs are what she needs to stay away from. serve sugar free soda as a liquor mix, white wine rather than red... no beer. if you're going to do dessert then opt for fruit (yes i know they're carbs but they're good carbs) and if you want to do chocolate, use DARK, less sugar. maybe a fondue and if you don't want chocolate, don't dip.

Answer 6

All you got to do is buy a veggie tray with a variaty of veggies.
You could also leave out a bowl of fruits. You could make something that's like a pastrie full of apples or pies sumthing like that. temptation doesn't hurt once in a while.

Answer 7

How about a veggie platter carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower and a fat free dip, there are good ones out there!
Or try a fruit platter, cantalope, watermelon, strawberries, etc.
Have FUN!!!
There are also Fat free puddings, the jell-o fat free chocolate is amazing!!!mmmmmm it would be a nice little guilt free treat!!!

Answer 8

Get a veggie tray for sure. Maybe even have salads with mixed veggies in it. You could even serve various fruit dishes. :)

Answer 9

You can buy whole grain tortilla chips, get a bar of low fat or fat free cream cheese, and pour salsa over it. Soooo goooood.

Sorry, I'm hungry...
