Finding the best food and drinks for a kid’s party is much more difficult than you imagined, right? Much more difficult than it is for adults! Instead of buying simple apple and orange juice, you should go a step ahead and get some really cool products; affordable, delicious and of course, non-alcoholic.
This article contains a list of 10 best food and drinks for a birthday party that your kid and his/her friends will love!
Foods
1. Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Melted cheese between the bread slices.
Before the party starts, put the butter and toast the bread. Once all the guests are on the party, place cheese on the bread and put the sandwiches in the oven. After a few minutes, the cheese will melt and make the bread softer. As a good start of the party, these sandwiches will be great snacks that will keep them energetic and full.
2. Vegetable Dips
Vegetable Dips.
Vegetables are inevitable when it comes to kids. If you want to give them an extra boost with a healthy meal, chop different veggies like celery, carrots, tomatoes or broccoli. Serve a certain amount without any additionals and make dips for those that don’t like raw vegetables. You can make a peanut butter dip or a cucumber yogurt deep, amongst others, which will make the snack more tasty and healthy.
3. Food on a Stick
A mixture of food on sticks.
Your little guests will love some kabobs with mixed vegetables, placed on a stick! Depending on their age, you can make these snacks in a few ways, including using the coffee stirrers, skewers or popsicle sticks. Once you choose which one, proceed to make different combinations that will make it even more interesting for the children. It can include shrimp, ham, and cheese, tomato and cucumber, chicken and carrot, etc. You can either grill them or leave them raw and see if the kids like it.
As a number three of the best foods and drinks for children, you could make this treat as a main meal of the party or one of several choices the little ones will enjoy.
4. Caramel Apple Sticks
Caramel Apple Sticks on a plate.
Another tasty product on this list of best food and drinks for a kid’s party also includes a stick!
Slide a caramel apple into chunks and then remove all the seeds. Once you’ve cleaned the pieces, place them one by one on several sticks. Dip the slices into caramel and cover with a chocolate sauce.
Seems absolutely delicious? – Because it is!
5. Mac and Cheese
Macaroni and Cheese.
Mixing up mac and cheese can never turn into a failure!
Utilize a whole wheat elbow macaroni, low sodium, and low-calorie butter, skim milk and grated cheddar cheese. Serve to the party members and watch them enjoy every bite!
Drinks
1. Watermelon Lemonade
Watermelon Cocktail.
Take this fancy product from our list of best food and drinks to refresh the whole party!
Making the watermelon lemonade (watermelonade?) is extremely easy! Simply put the watermelon into a blender and puree until making it smooth. Strain it through a mesh sieve and then bring sugar and a ½ cup of water. Boil it in a saucepan for around 5 minutes and then remove from the heat. Stir in a lemon juice and 3 cups of cold water. Place ice cubes into several glasses and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the watermelon mass you blended previously. Lastly, puree the lemonade and stir gently on top of it.
The servings are ready!
2. Color Changing Drinks
Color Changing Drinks
By placing dried food coloring under the ice, on the bottom of the glasses, all the drinks will start changing colors! The previously-clear beverage (Fresca, Water, and Sprite) will change the color in accordance with the food coloring and kids will think they just got some superpowers!
Additionally, they can try drinks of different colors and feel like taking extra potions!
3. Ice Cream Soda
Ice Cream Covered with Soda.
The best way to make an ice cream soda is by using a tall glass with a spoon and a straw.
Put 1-2 scoops of ice cream in the glass and pour a fizzy drink of your choice over it. As it will start expanding quickly, do not pour the drink fast because you can cause an overflow.
The safest way to use this combination is by using a vanilla ice cream. It blends in with fizzy drinks easily and rarely makes any mixture unbearable. You can also use a flavored ice cream and pour a basic lemonade over it.
All the other combinations are allowed as well but they do not guarantee the flavor that will come out as a result.
4. Frosty Orange Smoothie
A cup of orange smoothie.
Another unusual point on this list of best foods and drinks! You can make it by putting the orange juice, water, milk, vanilla, and sugar in a blender. Blend it until the mass gets very smooth. Whilst the blender is still running, add one ice cube at a time and continue blending.
As soon as the smoothie gets its right form, divide it into as many servings as there can be from one portion; serve immediately.
5. Swamp Juice
Lime and Soda Cocktail
With only 3 ingredients, this juice is a quick and amazing option for a kid’s party. Take 1 can of a thawed frozen limeade and mix it in a punch bowl with soda (Sprite, 7UP, etc.). Add 1 quart of lime sherbet and garnish it with plastic eyeballs or spiders, gummy worms or frozen strawberries.
As simple as that!
