Maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout the holidays can be difficult especially with the many social gatherings we love to attend. By becoming the host or co-host of the parties allows your self to make the menu or provide ideas to the attending guests of healthy side dishes or desserts to bring. Pre-planning and preparing meals for events during the holidays can save you not only calories, but time and money as well. Try making fruit-based desserts, light alcoholic beverages with limited soda options, and low-carbohydrate and low-calorie side dishes; trust me, your guests will thank you and be wanting to come back for more :) Below I have written some tips on healthy holiday choices that I hope you can find useful for you and your loved ones.

CUT FAT WITHOUT LOSING TASTE:
Week OneBreakfast: Banana, PB, spinach, and flaxseed smoothie Lunch: Cashew Larabar, Apple, Cranberry Coleslaw, Carrots and Hummus Dinner: Vegetable quinoa stir fry: broccoli, snap pea, cabbage, stir fry vegetable mix (found at Ingles heated in microwave for two minutes), with sauteed mushrooms, bell pepper and corn with this amazing stir fry sauce create by my man, and he's more of a chef by taste and flavor, so these may not be the exact measurements: 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce 1/8 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup oyster sauce 1 clove or tsp garlic, minced 2 tsp olive oil 2 tsp water Snacks: Popcorn, spoon full of peanut butter, pomegranate seeds QUINOAQuinoa is a plant-based protein source. Quinoa has about 6 grams of protein per 1/4 cup of dry mix, so if you eat half of this mix, you will consume about 9 grams of protein. Add 2 cups of spinach and 1 cup of mushrooms to the mix and you'll have at least 12 grams of protein in your meal, not including additional vegetables/tofu/etc. Quinoa is also a whole grain, which provides fiber and healthy B-vitamins, that you are able to tell is finished cooking when all of the white circles surround the brown grain itself. Week TwoBreakfast: Banana, PB, spinach, and flaxseed smoothie Lunch: Minestrone Soup with broccoli Ingredients:

Pumpkin spiced this and Pumpkin spiced that. I know, I know, why does fall immediately translate to pumpkin everything? Well let me tell you a little about this amazing or dreaded fruit (depending on who you are ;)), and yes I said fruit! Foods that have seeds in them are considered fruits, so cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, and bell peppers are actually all fruits instead of vegetables. Think about it have you ever eaten a vegetable with seeds? Potatoes, Eggplant, Carrots, Broccoli, Spinach, Onions, Celery, Asparagus, nope, that is because once matured we pull vegetables directly from the root, which has grown from the ground. Fruits are a part of the plant that grow from the flower, these items are picked, not pulled. Think about apples, cherries, pumpkins, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, bananas, coconuts, watermelon and how they are all picked from a tree or garden plant.
When I make vegetable side dishes, I am extremely liberal, in the sense that I buy however much of that vegetable I think I need to last me a weeks worth of side dishes when I am meal prepping. I found this healthy Zoe's Kitchen coleslaw a few years ago, and I fell in love! After a while the taste became sort of bland and savory, and I definitely have a sweet tooth, so adding the dried berries were the best decision I could have made! Test it out and tell me how you liked it! Ingredients
Combine and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, leaving the feta & berries until last. Sweet Potato Fries![]() Directions
