Children and adult Birthday parties are almost always associated with excesses such as too much salt and sugar ingested in a short time lapse.  As a result? Hyperactivity, belly aches and a society that associates that type of food with good moments. Yet there are more and more people that want to change that trend. Within the last few years, a lot of options and recipes of healthy cakes and snacks are emerging that are made with superfoods that not only are delicious and healthy but also provides us with the energy we need to enjoy our birthday party for longer.

Why not choose a healthier birthday cake?

Changing the style of your birthday cake is much easier than you imagine. They are so many alternatives that when you will do it, chances are that your guests won’t even notice that they are eating a gluten and refined sugar free cake! To start with you need some pantry staples for any sweet and healthy recipe:

Coconut Sugar – When we say we are going to bake a healthy cake the same question almost always comes up: how is it possible to bake a cake without refined sugar? The solution is to look for alternatives that are a 100% natural and organic and, without a doubt, one of the best ones is coconut sugar. However, it is important to not overdo it in your recipes. Try to also find other sources of sugar such as banana, peanut butter or dates.

Sprouted oats – Gluten free birthday cakes are also tasty, and they also have the same texture and look as traditional cakes. Our sprouted oats are “gluten free” and if you blend it, you can get oat flour which is perfect to substitute the wheat of your cake. You will get this way a much healthier and nutritious birthday cake!

Healthy snacks for children

Children’s birthday parties are usually a time where we let loose: candies, gummies, cakes, crisps, soft drinks…  consequences are hyperactive children which see sweets as a reward and usually come out of birthday parties with belly aches and feeling sick because of the excess of salt and sugar. At Iswari we have several products that can save your children’s birthday party:

Another big problem of birthday parties are soft drinks and artificial and industrial fruit juices. A good alternative is to serve infused water or smoothies during the party. And after lunch or for the afternoon snack why not substitute coffee with a Macaccino?
