However, with the Christmas Healthy Treats it is possible to make some of the Christmas fare healthier while at the same time preserving the rich tastes and flavors. Read on for some easy-to-follow eating tips that include some unique Christmas Healthy Treats on your platter this Christmas.
- Use low fat cooking methods, steam, grill, poach, microwave or roast rather than fry, deep-fat fry.
- Add extra vegetables to dishes where possible.
- Instead of piling your plate with turkey and all the fixings, take smaller portions.
- If you're still hungry after dinner, go back for a second round of veggies. Take lots of salads.
Tips for Christmas Snacks
Try to avoid high calorie food such as cheeses, pates, nuts, crisps and cakes. Low fat snacks include fruit, popcorn, water crackers and low fat cheddar. Fruit based starters and desserts are very tasty. Low-fat custard, low-fat yogurt and low-fat light cream make good Christmas healthy treats.
Seasoning Tips
Experiment with lower fat dressings e.g. tomato sauce, mustard seed, Soya sauce, lemon juice and of course cranberry sauce. Season Christmas food with herbs and spices such as garlic, basil, pepper, and coriander rather than using extra fat or salt. If you drink alcohol try to drink sensibly and preferably with food.
