Making Restaurants Work Harder For You

3 Catered Food Options That Are Easy To Make Healthy

If you are arranging a party for a group of people who tend to eat healthy food, such as a class of dietitians or a consortium of fitness coaches, then you may not be sure what food to order. The idea of choosing a menu for these people who are so conscious about their diets can be intimidating. And to make things more complicated, each of them probably has different preferences and restrictions! Thankfully, there are a few common catered options that work well for the healthy crowd.

Build-Your-Own Wraps

Look for a catering company that is wiling to drop off a make-your-own wraps bar. This way, your attendees can each build their own wrap, using their own preferred fillings. Most people who aim to eat a healthier diet prefer to eat fewer carbohydrates, so they'll probably prefer wraps to sandwiches. You can have the caterer bring some gluten-free wraps for anyone who eats gluten-free. Make sure the wraps they bring are vegan (most are) so that anyone who eats a plant-based diet also has their needs met.

When it comes to fillings, you can't go wrong with a big assortment of veggies and then some vegan and non-vegan protein sources. Shredded chicken or turkey, marinated tofu, and hummus should give everyone enough choices. Have the caterer also bring an assortment of spreads and dressings.

Assorted Pizzas

You probably don't think of pizza as a really healthy choice, but it can be if you order it right. Plus, it is easy to customize. Order pizzas with thin crusts and a couple with gluten-free crusts. Ask for light cheese on some and no cheese on others. Have each pizza topped with a different selection of vegetables and only get meat on one or two. Order a great big salad to serve alongside it, and your attendees will be happy.

Soup Bar

Soup is an underrated dish that can be made very healthy and can also be customized. You can have the caterer bring a few different kinds of soups. White bean soup is a good vegetarian option, and they could also bring a vegetarian chili. Chicken-vegetable soup is another healthier choice. You could also have them bring an array of toppings from shredded cheese to sliced green onions to crumbly crackers. Each person can choose their soup and choose their toppings. This idea works really well in the winter when it's cold outside!

With these catering options, you can be set for a delicious lunch with your group of healthy eaters. Enjoy!
