Healthy Holiday Recipes

Category: Healthy Recipes

With the holiday in full swing, it can be quite a challenge not to overindulge in all the not-so-healthy, delectable holiday treats. By making smart, healthy choices, you can still enjoy the holiday foods you love and still feel good about your body.

In this wellness chat, Health Coach & Integrative Nutritionist Alyson Chugerman shared some tips on how to eat healthy - from grocery shopping to cooking. She also gave recipes for delicious dishes you can enjoy guilt-free.

So together with your typical indulgent holiday menu, give yourself (and anyone else trying to stick to their goals) a little help by including some of these delicious, healthy recipes from Alyson.

1. Sweet Potato Noodles with Veggies and Crispy Chick Peas

Both sweet potatoes and chickpeas have a low glycemic index, while chickpeas are also a good source of protein and fiber.

This recipe is a great choice for those trying to maintain their weight or anyone watching their blood sugar.

2. Beet Hummus

Hummus is usually made with chickpeas but you can also experiment with other vegetables like cauliflower, edemame, or beets. Try this recipe on your next holiday gathering as a veggie and fruit dip, or spread on sandwiches and wraps.

3. Thai Chicken Coconut Soup

This is another one of Alyson's tasty healthy recipes that you can add in your holiday menu - a hearty chicken coconut soup that the whole family will surely enjoy.

The holidays don't need to be unhealthy. If you put in a little time to prepare your recipes and grocery list, you'll realize that healthy eating is not as difficult for you as you may think - even during the holidays.

Thanks for reading, and happy holidays!
