Recipes for an anti-inflammatory lifestyle

Staying true to an anti-inflammatory lifestyle at social events doesn’t have to mean missing out on good food. With these fresh, flavourful canapé ideas, you can enjoy gatherings while making food choices that align with your way of eating.

These recipes are created to fit within an anti-inflammatory diet by focusing on natural, nutrient-rich ingredients and fresh, vibrant toppings. They’re easy to prepare ahead of time and ideal for any party or event.

 

Canapés in an anti-inflammatory diet

An anti-inflammatory diet prioritises colourful, unprocessed foods such as vegetables, herbs, healthy fats, nuts, and seeds. When planning snacks or party food, it’s all about getting creative,  swapping bread bases for vegetables, serving in salad leaves or small cups, and decorating with fresh herbs, seeds, berries, or chopped nuts.

Tip: Choose recipes that can be made in advance and served cold, like mini frittatas or naturally sweet treats, for easy, relaxed hosting.
