Festive & Healthy Foods to Enjoy this Holiday Season

The holiday season tends to be full of opportunities to enjoy decadent treats. So we decided it would be fun to share tips for a healthy holiday season and a few festive and healthy recipes that you can enjoy to stay nourished between, and even at, holiday parties!

Festive Appetizers

Speaking of holiday parties, are you bringing an appetizer to your work party this year?

If so, here are a few ideas that are bound to be crowd pleasers!

Snacking Tomato Appetizer

  • Adding Snacking Tomatoes and bocconcini to toothpicks or your favorite food-pick.
  • Make bruschetta topped with Tomatoes, cilantro, and feta cheese.
  • Create an edible centerpiece by creating a wreath made of Cucumber slices and Tomatoes. You can serve this with roasted red pepper hummus, our Bell Pepper Quinoa Dip, or cottage cheese mixed with salsa or bruschetta.
  • Make a Tomato, white bean, and avocado dip.
  • Make an apple “Christmas Tree” with sliced apple and your favorite nut or seed butter, shredded coconut, and pomegranate seeds. To create a “fruit and cheese” platter, replace the nut butter with crackers and add chunks of white cheese with the coconut.
