Healthy Festive Party Food Ideas

So then for party food, here is what she says, try and think of something that's delicious but very low on carbohydrates. The correct term is, it's got a low glycemic index. That is the terminology. I guess the scientific name for saying that, okay? Very slow take up of sugar, low glycemic index. And then she made something which I thought was amazing. And it took a photograph. I don't have a photo of it fast. Hang on, let me see if I can. I won't be able to do this fast. I know, you're gonna get bored if I look for it. I'm going to describe it, but then I'll let you talk to each other and go and find a picture of it. I want you to imagine on a tray that there's party food on a tray. So people are coming in, they're going to the party food table and there's a tray sitting on the table. On that table for you to eat is a Christmas tree. Now I want you to picture. Now, if you think about a Christmas tree, it's sort of triangular, isn't it, a Christmas tree? And it's green in color, agreed? And then it's got a little stump at the bottom, which is… which is a stump, right? Okay? Right, okay. So Christmas tree is green like this, with a stump. And then you've got some Christmas tree balls, you know, decorations, haven't you? Right. Okay. Right. So then what Arvinda did, and I wish I could, I wish I'd got the picture to show you. It doesn't matter. She said, right, I'm going to go and get some broccoli florets, broccoli florets. And then I'm going to place them on this tray in a triangular fashion. So florid, florid, florid, florid, florid, you know, so it forms a triangular shape. So she's going to put the broccoli like that. Underneath that triangle, I'm going to put some cherry tomatoes. They represent the Christmas tree balls, you know, the decoration balls, right? So I'll put some cherry tomatoes, cherry tomatoes in a line like that underneath the triangle. Then I'm going to go and get some breadsticks and I'm going to put some breadsticks at the bottom to represent the Christmas tree stump, the trunk, okay? Then I'm going to go and get a dip. Now I don't know what kind of dips we should get, mayonnaise, whatever. I warned you you, I wasn't very good with my food, right? But you, Thousand Island, hummus. I'm getting it all wrong. I know I'm getting it wrong. The ladies are laughing at me. Those are rubbish dips. Yeah. Okay. All right. But you know what I'm saying? And then she gets it in a little tub and she places it on that tray. And then people are coming into the party food. And what they do is they pick up a broccoli floret, they put it into the dip, and then they eat it. Right? And they go, oh, that's nice. The reason it's nice is not because broccoli is very tasty. Broccoli is all right. The reason it's nice is because the dip is really tasty. Yeah? So they have one and they go and say hello and come back and have another one. And they keep coming back to this this party food table but what are they eating? Well they're eating broccoli or or they might pick up a cherry tomato yeah and the dip is is the thing that's really tasty so so so then what whatever they ended up they had something nice they socialized but they didn't have a carbohydrate thing did they? They took in some fiber okay and so that's much, much healthier for you. It's just like creatively thinking about how you can organize party food so that it's not just carbohydrate-y, you know, it's not your pizza, your pasta, your biscuits, your cake, your crisps, you know, it's not that stuff. It's you think about it a little bit and then you serve it. And she does this in her own parties and people are wow, they're really happy and in her own parties, birthday parties, she'll have a fruitcake made of melon. And what does everybody end up eating and sharing? Well, watermelon is 90% water, 10% fiber. So then she says, well, I've been kind to my guests. I didn't give them a chocolate fudge cake. you
