25 Pink Snacks to Perfectly Pink Up Your Trendy Party

Color parties are a major trend right now, the monochromatic look is in. In case you aren’t familiar, a color party is where all the decor and food are one color. Or you could also do a rainbow party, where each color of the rainbow is represented.

A popular choice for a color party is pink. It can be used for baby showers, bachelorettes, Valentine's Day, or birthday parties. The color pink is associated with hope, love, femininity, kindness, and playfulness. It can also be calming, often used in places to help people feel more serene. 

If you are planning a pink-themed party, the decor might be simple to envision, but what about food and drinks? What are some pink foods you can serve?

We gathered our favorite pink snack ideas for your party to help you get started brainstorming your menu. Some of our ideas are healthy, and others are a sweet treat, but the goal is to provide a variety of options that work for you and your guests.

Healthy Pink Snacks

To balance out some of the sweet treats at the party, you may want to look for a few healthier options. Here are our favorite healthy pink snack ideas: 

A strawberry salad may not be all pink but matches the theme. To make the salad, top baby spinach with sliced strawberries, candied pecans, and balsamic dressing.

Consider a make-your-own smoothie bowl. Start with frozen and blended pitaya or dragon fruit which is a light pink color. It can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Serve in bowls, then lay out toppings like granola, sliced (pink) fruits, and nuts for your guests to get creative.

If you are looking for a pink packaged snack, our Habanero beef Chomps are a high protein option. The package is a deep pink color and can easily be added to any pink table for a spicy snack.

While there aren’t a lot of pink veggies to choose from for a platter, you can bend the rules a bit by adding tomatoes, red peppers, sliced beets, and radishes all surrounding a pink dip.

Create a pink fruit salad by mixing watermelon, strawberries, grapefruit chunks, raspberries, and purple grapes. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.

Naturally Pink Foods 

If you prefer a naturally pink color to your food, there are many to choose from. Here are some of our favorite pink foods:

Beets are versatile vegetables that taste delicious roasted and in a salad. Their purple color comes from a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin, which has been linked to a variety of health benefits from heart to brain health.

Pink grapefruit is a rich source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. One thing to note is that grapefruit can interact with some medications, so be sure to ask your healthcare provider if it is right for you.

Raspberries are a source of fiber and antioxidants. They are known to have benefits for gut, heart, and brain health.

Similar to raspberries, strawberries are also a source of fiber and antioxidants with benefits for immunity, skin health, and brain function.

If your party is in the middle of winter, a ripe watermelon may be more challenging to find. But watermelon is the perfect juicy fruit for a summer pink party. It is a source of hydration, fiber, and potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure.

Matching Drinks to Pair with Your Pink Snacks

Any festive pink party needs some tasty pink drinks for guests to enjoy. These suggestions will pair beautifully with your pink-themed foods. They can also be turned into “adult” options if your guests prefer.

Strawberry lemonade is simple to make, just combine strawberry juice and lemonade. Add sliced strawberries for garnish. You can also have a similar result by mixing cranberry or other red fruit juice with lemonade to create a pink drink.

Mix grapefruit juice with club soda or your favorite sparkling wine and serve over ice for a refreshing pink grapefruit cocktail.

This frozen watermelon mint mocktail is the perfect pink drink made with coconut water, mint, and lime. We serve it in a glass rimmed with chili lime seasoning for a spicy addition.

If you are having a pink party with adult guests, consider making Cosmopolitans a classic pink drink made famous by the gals on Sex and the City. Here is a recipe for a beautiful pink one by Love and Lemons.

Hibiscus is a pink-red flower used to make a similarly colored tea. It can be found in the tea aisle of most grocery stores. Brew the tea and serve iced with a lemon wedge or some sliced strawberries.
