🦃 Trying to have a healthier holiday?
🦃 Go easy on the gravy. Gravy can contain high amounts of sodium, especially if it is from a can. A little can go a long way!
🍞 Swap out refined rolls for whole grain rolls. Whole grains have more fiber and nutrients while refined grains lose those during processing.
🍷 Drinking alcohol? Remember to drink water to hydrate! Water also helps to cut back on calories.
🍎 When baking desserts, try using unsweetened applesauce or mashed rips bananas instead of butter. This helps to cut back on the amount of saturated fat.
🏃♀️ Plan an activity that will get you up and moving. Go for a walk after dinner, dance in the kitchen (my fave), play catch, or sign up for a Turkey Trot!
🦃 And remember, the holiday is only one day out of the 365 days in a year.
♥️ If you decide to celebrate the holiday as usual, that is OK too! Give yourself grace and enjoy your time with those who mean most!
