🎉 Holiday gatherings are all about connection, tradition, and sharing great food 🍽️ but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it and make nutritious choices!

Here are 5 simple ways to eat well over the holidays:
✅Think whole grains, fruits and veggies, and opt for water as your drink.
✅Eat with awareness! Slow down a little to notice your hunger and fullness signals.
✅Don't skip meals: Eating regular meals and snacks throughout the day prevents cravings and overeating later.
✅Enjoy every bite! Traditions and treats are part of the fun🎉 Aim to have smaller portions of these foods.
✅Rethink drinks - Try sparkling water, hot apple cider, fruity tea or a festive smoothie.
