2. Healthy party food Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean you need to live on chocolate and egg nog, there are plenty of healthy traditional Christmas foods, for example dates, clementine’s, nuts (full of great nutrient and healthy fats, although this does make them high calorie so don’t go mad unless your goal is bulking), roasted chestnuts, turkey, cranberries. You can give a Christmassy feel to many foods by adding a touch of cinnamon which also has the awesome quality of improving blood sugar control, and for a warming winter beverage that also healthy try chai, delicious with or without milk. If you plan on an advent calendar for your kids, there are other options to sweets inside, for example Lego do advent calendars. If you’re throwing a Christmas party don’t forget that buffet style finger food doesn’t have to be unhealthy, make your own popping corn, put out some olives, smoked salmon, some hummus dips with carrot and celery, apple and cheese, or go festive by garnishing some cherry tomatoes with holly leaves. Unleash your creative side by cutting the pointy tip off a strawberry and put it on a section of banana on the other part of the strawberry. Draw a face on the banana chunk and put a dab of yoghurt on the tip of the strawberry and you have a little fruity elf. Check out my last previous post for some inventive healthy buffet ideas from Emma Shepherd this halloween.
