Want to make your iftar table aesthetically pleasing without compromising on a healthy diet?
The advantages of a healthy diet during Ramadan are numerous, from keeping us energetic to allowing us to engage more in Ibadah. After researching countless healthy eating tips, I have come up with a grazing board, as they are not just visually appealing but also healthy and quick to prepare.
These are 5 tips to make the perfect grazing board:
- Hydration and natural Sugars
- Protein and Healthy Fats
- Carbohydrates
- Vegetables
- Presentations
Hydration and Natural sugar:
When we talk about hydration and natural sugar, we all know that we are talking about fruits, so grab a variety of fruits and add them such as watermelon, oranges, peaches, pineapples and don`t forget strawberries (My personal favorite).
Proteins and Fats:
Proteins are building blocks in our body. They maintain pH levels and support the immune system, so get them by adding dates, almonds, nuts and mixed seeds in your board.
Carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates provide essential energy. Elevate your grazing board with crackers and mashed potatoes served with salsa. Not only do they enhance the presentation, but they also ensure you get a good source of carbs.
Vegetables:
Add veggies like carrot or cucumber sticks because why not? We are getting essential nutrients and fiber from them.
Presentations:
Repeat after me: The presentation is just as important as nutrients! Arrange items by color coordination to make them look more appetizing.
Conclusion:
Healthy eating can be so much fun if you use the right approach. Try these healthy diet tips to elevate your iftar table. A balanced diet not only nourishes our body but helps us focus on what truly matters, so this Ramadan uplift your physical and spiritual journey with the perfect grazing board.
