Easy recipes for a spring picnic
Cakes or pies, savoury snacks, and sweets are a few ideas for a springtime garden picnic. Keep your menu varied as much as possible, and choose light snacks that will keep you feeling happy and healthy. Let's examine some recommendations:
Brownie with ice cream: As the weather warms up, make a homemade chocolate brownie that is free of gluten, dairy, and other additives. Serve it with slices of fresh fruit or your favourite scoop of ice cream if the weather is nice. Take care to prevent the ice cream from melting while being transported.
Have you ever tried a salad that is Mediterranean in style?
All you need is tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, coriander, feta cheese, peppers, rocket and carrots. It's quite simple to make. Quinoa salad is another wholesome and adaptable choice. Both can be seasoned with additional aromatic herbs, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil;
Hummus served with veggie sticks: For a more customised taste, make your own hummus at home. Cooked (pre-soaked) chickpeas must be combined with olive oil, garlic, onion, tahini (sesame seed paste), and lemon juice. It is served with marinara sticks, carrot sticks, or cucumber sticks.
Springtime quiches: Make a few of these for your picnic in spring. For instance, try making a mushroom quiche with cheese, leek, and puff pastry. as soon as they cool down from the oven, store in Tupperware containers;
Seasonal fruit salad: To create a vibrant and healthful fruit salad, mix together a range of seasonal fruits, including oranges, pineapple, kiwis, and strawberries. To make it resistant to the heat on the nicest days, you can add lemon juice, rosemary, and honey for sweetness;
Energy balls: You can make energy balls for the picnic if you want to sustain your energy for a longer period of time. When you include healthy components like dates, oats, almonds, and seeds, you'll notice a difference. They make a delicious and convenient kid-friendly snack as well.
Remember to have fresh apple, beetroot or orange juice ready for your picnic. You should always have enough water for everyone in addition to juices.
How to organize a spring picnic?
When planning a spring picnic, there are a few things to consider. To ensure that everything is ideal, you must arrange the picnic in advance.
Selecting a location for the picnic: Selecting a spot for the picnic should be done carefully initially. Select green spots nearby your home, including parks, city gardens, or other outdoor spaces, to cut down on the cost of transportation;
Keep an eye on the weather: if you want to have a picnic somewhere else, like the beach or in the mountains, you should monitor the forecast. Setting up alerts on your smartphone could be a fun way to find out if there will be frequent updates;
In this springtime family activity, it's not just about the food when it comes to preparing moments of leisure. To add even more tranquilly to the picnic, consider setting up some outdoor games or a little reading session;
Give kids equal attention: senior citizens should watch out for young ones. For the younger ones, you should include activities tailored to their needs, including interactive games. In order to socialise without screens, we advise you to put your cell phones away.
Remember to include trash bags so you can separate the debris when planning your spring picnic. The environment is obviously grateful to you.
What to take in the picnic basket?
Making sure you have everything you need for your picnic is a good reason to organise your picnic basket. What you must not miss is this:
Knapkins, plates, glasses, silverware and a tablecloth or blanket. Using objects from your own house is more acceptable and environmentally friendly than purchasing single-use plastic cups and plates;
To open your preferred beverages, use a corkscrew or can opener;
Freezer bag/Cool bag to ensure freshness of drinks at all times;
A small charcoal barbecue or wood-burning burner for individuals who enjoy grilling chicken or mini-kebabs while having a family picnic;
Apply sunscreen to shield yourself from the sun's harsh rays and use insect repellent spray;
Organise bandages, compresses, saline solution, adhesives, gloves, and disinfection wipes in a first aid kit. A trash bag and some healing creams or sprays are also essential;
Camera to capture the picnic's greatest moments forever.
We'll share some picnic dishes with you, but you should also prepare additional sandwiches, cookies, or snacks in case anyone becomes hungry! Use small Tupperware or containers that can survive the refrigerator's temperatures to preserve cheese or other dairy items.
You'll be able to have the greatest springtime picnic with all of this. Enjoy the nice weather outside.
