Tips to make healthy food look delicious

  • Use different types of crockery. Colourful, black or white. Go for smaller plates. They help you control portions and make food look attractive
  • Garnish your food with colourful ingredients. You can use watermelon seeds, nuts or pumpkin seeds for dark coloured foods. Use mint, chopped palak, cauliflower leaves or coriander to garnish most of your dishes. Green colour is soothing as well as appealing to the eyes. You can even use pomegranate for colour pop.
  • Follow a few healthy food blogs to see how they plate their food. It is not a time-consuming task. It just needs some creativity.
  • Keep your dining table decorated, neat and tidy at all times. It elevates your meal experience and takes your mind away from the fact that you might be eating boring food.
  • Don t overdo it. Adding too many colours or elements can make your plate look cluttered. Keep it simple.
  • Instead of mixing all veggies in the salad, keep a few stir-fried on the side.
