As the holidays are now in full swing, in order to help you celebrate but STILL stay on track with your goals … We’ve got a quick list of healthy swaps – and our #1 swap might even come in handy on Thursday! ;) This is the time of year we tend to eat more than usual … and the foods we eat also tend to be richer and more calorie dense than normal, too. Talk about a double whammy for your energy, digestion system, and ... yes... your waistline! By all means, enjoy your “worth it” favorites this year … but you can offset those with a few healthy swaps for foods you won’t even think about tomorrow. 7 Healthy Swaps This Holiday Season: Fresh steamed green beans instead of green bean casserole Mashed cauliflower, squash, or sweet potatoes instead of mashed potatoes Baked cinnamon apples topped with coconut cream instead of apple pie Hummus instead of a cheese ball Creamy nut or oat milk in your eggnog instead of cream Zucchini noodles in your soup or stew instead of conventional pasta or potatoes Medjool dates or fruit instead of holiday candy or cookies (portion sizes still matter!) …. And our FAVORITE swap? Go for a walk instead of crashing on the couch after you eat. Going for a light walk (even a short one) after you eat will help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels… And it may also help with digestion. We hope these swaps help you feel and move better this holiday season. It’s the little things we do every day that add up to BIG results!
