Spa party refreshments are at the top of the list.
Now that you have decided on your spa party basics and spa party invitations, it's time to plan and execute the details.
You can be sure that all of the spa activities will create a healthy appetite.
The order of the day - Splendid Spa Food. The secret is to make light fare that is irresistible because the flavor is punched up to match the event.
Spa party refreshments like ice cold pitchers of water filled with lemon and/or lime and/or cucumber slices or chilled bottles of water (particularly attractive bottles are a plus ... splurge at your local gourmet store for pretty bottles and leave the plastic sports bottles in your pantry).
Selection of herbal teas or juices can be included in spa party refreshments.
Ideas for Spa Party Foods
Make appetizers/salads night prior or morning
Menu:
Make the refreshments healthy, after all they are at the spa for the afternoon or evening. You could serve the following:
Fresh cheese and crackers or a variety of other dips.
Yogurt parfaits topped with granola and honey.
Have a wonderful vegetable tray served with ranch dip, etc.
Dry nuts and fruits would also be a good treat, like banana chips, apricots, assortment of nuts, etc.
Check out The Fresh Bartender Guide To Healthy Parties And Festive Juicing from Amazon.com. You'll learn how to: create exotic concoctions of juices, teas and nut creams; set up a festive juice bar, even without an electric juicer.
If you are serving dinner, you could make:
A yummy salad
Chicken Fajitas and/or tacos
Vegetable soup
Fresh bread and/or rolls
Fruit skewers
Healthy Spa Deserts
Fruit smoothies would be a yummy treat to include in your party refreshments. You could have several recipes and a blender available and you could have a smoothie bar that the girls (or guys) can order their smoothies from.
If the girls are old enough, you could offer herbal tea. Have an array of fruit teas on hand as well.
Cake:
A fruit tart would be a wonderful dessert to serve, as would any type of fruit cake, like Strawberry Shortcake or a peach cobbler. Serve these with frozen yogurt. Carrot Cake may also be a good choice, but not all kids may eat this cake. You'll find that making your refreshments can be fun and healthy at the same time!
