How to organize a family picnic?

Family picnic: all you need to know!

Prepare the dishes in advance

In general, when we picnic, we bring cold dishes. You can also cook a main dish with grilled meat at the last minute, if you plan not to go too far. It will still be hot when tasted. The best is the large mixed salads that appeal to both young and old alike. Slices of ham, cheese, fruit, snacking cereals are also among the foods to be favored. You can also bring a great gourmet dessert, like brownies, to share. Another simple idea that will cause a sensation: fruit skewers to delight the whole tribe.

Remember to hydrate well

During a picnic with children, we especially think about taking as many drinks as possible. Choose mineral water, simply bottled. If you can, use a cooler, especially if a very sunny day is forecast. Depending on the place, you can take fruit juices, a cool alternative, they are packed with vitamins whether they are in a hurry or natural. With older children, you can exceptionally take a sweet fruit-flavored drink. Another trend: smoothies. Homemade, easy to make in a blender, are super good!

Invest in special picnic equipment

We can not reasonably take everyday dishes in the middle of nature. Many well-thought-out products exist in major brands or in specialized shops. First of all, we play the game thoroughly: we choose a pretty wicker basket, a beautiful tablecloth and matching paper napkins. We put everything on the practical and nomadic side with the children: gourds for drinks, bentos for a balanced meal, multifunction knives for parents, cooler bags, colored glasses for a fun atmosphere. We call our friends and we meet in a great garden for a day all together in the great outdoors!
