Tips for Serving the Best Gluten Free, Healthy Brunch

What will make your brunch healthier? Below are some of the top tips for serving the best healthy brunch.

• Watch the sugar. Brunch is so tasty, but your healthy intentions can easily be ruined with too much sugar.  Pastries, juices, store-made foods, jellies and other items can turn your post brunch relax time into an exhausting sugar crash. Try to keep the sugar low by serving drinks lower in sugar and protein-heavy mains.
• Gluten and dairy may not be your friend. Some, especially those fighting with autoimmune or other illness may find 1 or 2 of these to cause additional inflammation in the body. Not to fear, there are plenty of great options without them!
• Avoid using meats with hormones, antibiotics, or nitrates. These have been known to potentially cause a number of issues including: inflammation, increased intestinal permeability and more. Why use them when your food tastes just as great without?!

Tips for Serving Brunch to a Crowd/Brunch Party Tips

What will make your brunch set-up quick and easy? Below are some of the top tips for serving brunch to a crown, at a party, or for a larger group of family or friends.

• Prep as much ahead of time as you can. Many of the recipes above can be frozen or prepped in advance making brunch a breeze.
• Provide a colorful fruit tray/platter: this will add visual interest and simplicity to your table.
• When overwhelmed, local bakeries, health food stores, and cafes are great places to find additional items for your brunch table. Some great options are: smoothie bowls, omelets, smoothies, and anything from a local vegan/gluten free bakery.
• Drink wisely. You may want to relax, but don’t let drinks high in sugar put a damper on your mood or energy for the day. Serve unsweetened iced tea, cold brew coffee, and even healthier cocktails for a fun morning with less downfalls.
• Use cute/ fun party ware to set the mood. If worried about cleanup time, make it disposable.  Here are a few of my favorites:
  • A cute banner.
  • Tableware sets like this that come with everything!
  • Party platters, cocktail glasses, and more.
• If it’s a pool party or outdoor brunch, keep the food temperature appropriate. Keep refrigerated drinks and foods in the refrigerator until the last minute. Serve hot foods when hot and do not leave anything out too long that contains meat or dairy.
• If your party is family or kid friendly –make sure to provide some activities for the little ones: make your own juice bar, play-doh/stickers/craft table (or other activity), small construction toys or blocks, sandbox/activities, and more.
