Throw a wholesome holiday party

Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Although you might not associate holiday parties with healthy food, it doesn’t mean you can’t sneak some better-for-you options into your spread. There are lots of wholesome recipes and finger foods that are tasty and will please your guests. Here are just a few options:

• Casseroles with whole grains, legumes, or veggies
• Cheeses, lean meats, and fish served alone or with whole grain crackers
• Fruit trays or fruit salads
• Veggie trays served with low-fat or nonfat dips and spreads
• Low calorie beverages like mineral water and wine spritzers
• Light desserts served in bite size pieces
• Set out smaller plates to encourage smaller portions

If you’re planning a holiday party this season, challenge yourself to do a little planning to serve wholesome foods instead of the standard fare.

    i thought to make coconut milk jello for our company potluck as a way to provide a sweet fruit dessert that everyone will enjoy. Now I am thinking I’ll research using gelatin and stevia, instead of regular jello, to reduce sugar as well….

    I’m having a Holiday Potluck Dinner on Saturday… Let’s see if I can persuade guests to bring healthy options. What I make will definitely be good for you!
