🍎 Sleigh Your Snacks

  • 🎄 Make It Festive:
    This one is great for kids – turn healthy nibbles into Christmas-themed fun – carrot “reindeer sticks,” cucumber “Christmas trees,” and bell pepper “stars” with a side of hummus or tzatziki. Healthy, balanced and delicious!
  • 🧀 Pair Treats with Protein:
    Enjoy your mince pie, but pair it with a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese to balance out the sugar spike and keep your energy levels steady.
  • 🍊 Keep Nourishing Options Handy:
    Fill a festive bowl with easy-to-grab fruit like clementines or berries, so there’s always a lighter choice when you need it.
tip

✨ Remember, balance doesn’t mean saying “no” to your festive favourites – it’s about enjoying the treats you love while fuelling your body with goodness too. Santa doesn’t skip all the treats, and neither should you.
