SkinnyKc is thanking Santa for her gift she got a food blender to prepare healthy soups and juices.
Soups are a great idea when prepared with fresh ingredients and little nut milks for extra protein and vitamins.
Families are gathered and happiness is all around the dinner table. A big variety of dishes is available and prepared with love, it is the perfect occasion to enjoy your meal and keep no room for frustration.
Deprivation during big events will very likely lead to cravings so eat in moderation and enjoy your favorite dishes.
Merry Christmas!
Shopping can be pretty boring for some people but it is a great chance to increase miles on your pedometer.
It can even be window shopping but make sure to wear comfortable shoes and resist unhealthy snacks offered at malls. Opt for fruits and smoothies for a healthy Christmas shopping day!
Here are some easy to follow Christmas snacking tips:
-Go for low fat snacks such as low fat microwaved popcorn, raw nuts, dried fruits and roast chestnuts to accompany drinks.
-Use rice cakes instead of bread.
-Bake wholewheat cookies or gluten free options if you are gluten sensitive instead of processed biscuits.
-Opt for sashimi salmon instead of cream cheese salmon bites.
-Choose marinated chicken instead of breaded, it is fewer in calories and healthier.
-Swap creamy dips for yogurt or tomato based dips.
-Favor dark chocolate or dates rather than milk or white chocolate high in fat and sugar.
Sushi is a healthy meal choice, fish is high in omega 3 and rice is low in fat. It is a complete meal so a small sushi platter is always a good idea.(10-15 pieces)
However fish contains mercury, a heavy metal that the body is unable to eliminate, so it is advised to consume high mercury fish not more than 3 times a week.
Favor white fish and salmon.
P.S: Tempura are higher in fat as they are fried so stick to raw, marinated or grilled fish.
