The holidays are a time of good friends, family, and traditions. And many holiday traditions center around food. In an effort to keep the calories down and stay trim, here are a few healthy holiday recipes to make festive eating less of a challenge:
- Lightly drizzled chocolate-covered nuts. The health benefits of nuts and antioxidants in chocolate (if using dark chocolate) can make one forget they are eating a healthy snack.
- Grilled Peach Sundaes. A great way to sneak in your daily servings of fruit!
- Shredded Root Vegetable Pancakes. A nice alternative to potato pancakes and a good way to get your serving of veggies.
- Crunchy Pear and Celery Salad. High in calcium, low in calories and another way to get your serving of fruit.
- Mango Brûlée. Slices of mango broiled in the oven will look like an elegant dessert you spent all day in the kitchen whipping up.
