My Favorite December Foods!
You probably have favorite December foods and so do I. Here are a few of mine, from a seasoned registered dietitian (RD) who loves to eat: spiced nuts, dried figs, roast turkey, cranberry bread, pumpkin pancakes, spiced apple cider, warm mulled red wine and candy canes! Really, December holidays are not so much about over-indulging, but they are about taking a sensible approach to flavor and good nutrition.
3 Steps to Making Tasty & Healthy Choices in December!
Ask yourself these 3 questions as a way to choose this month:
1. Is this food/beverage made with healthy ingredients?
2. Is this food/beverage over-the-top with calories, sugar, fat or salt?
3. Is this food/beverage helping me achieve my health goals?
Whether you answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’, be sure to take a moderate serving, eat slowly for the best enjoyment of flavors and take a fresh-air walk after your meal. These are all smart ways to feel good and stay healthy! If you need a guide for your kitchen then check out my e-books . They make a heart-felt, holiday gift for you or someone special on your list!
