Do you like to have fun while you're eating?

If so, you're in luck! In this food & drinks article, we're going to show you some fun ways to eat that are both healthy and tasty.

Food & Drinks have always been a part of social gatherings.

Whether it's at home or out with friends, food and drinks always play a role in enjoying each other's company. In fact, many people enjoy food and drinks for their own sake.

There are plenty of healthy and delicious ways to have fun while eating.

Here are seven examples:

1. Enjoy your favorite foods guilt-free by incorporating healthier alternatives into your meal plan offered by restaurants or catering companies. For instance, opting for grilled fish instead of fried fish or using vegetable mash instead of potato fries will give you the same taste without all the bad fats and calories.

​

2. Get creative with your drink selections. Swap sugary cocktails for sparkling water or enjoy a fruity smoothie in place of soda pop. You'll be surprised at how much variety there is out there!

​

3. Control portion sizes by splitting dishes with a friend or dining solo. This will help avoid overeating and ensure that you're getting the nutrients that you need to stay healthy throughout the day.

​

4. experiment! Sprinkle some chili powder into your mayo sandwich, mix up your tuna salad recipe by blending in Havarti cheese, or prepare a fruit salad with fresh fruits instead of canned fruits. There’s no wrong way to enjoy your favorite foods as long as they healthy!

​

5. When eating out, order off the appetizers menu instead of the main course if you'd like to save calories AND carbs for later on in the evening (or morning). And if dessert is calling your name, opt for an eco-friendly dessert such as sorbet instead of ice cream made with sugar alcohols (those little black dots).

​

6. Don't be afraid to try new recipes—even if they seem complex at first glance (trust us, they're not!). With some practice, you'll be able to make any dish look and taste fantastic—especially if it features whole grains, healthful fats and proteins from quality sources.

​

7. Finally, make social connections outside of the Eat Healthy/Drink Responsibly community; go hiking together on a sunny day, watch a movie with friends or join a cooking workshop led by an experienced chef--anything that allows you to get close to others and share experiences communally! Food & drinks are an amazing way to bond with loved ones while keeping our bodies healthy and happy!
