December Tips

Whether hosting or attending a party, spread the cheer with healthier appetizers!

• Bring a fruit platter or fun holiday trail mix that you and other guests could enjoy!
• Make a pear and pomegranate salsa and pair it with multigrain tortilla chips! YUM!
• Stuff dates with goat cheese and nuts for a savory, but sweet treat.
• Add cranberries, apples, and fresh herbs to your favorite quinoa for a flavorful salad.
• Got room for dessert? Dip clementines in dark chocolate to satisfy that sweet tooth!
• Make the switch from sour cream to plain Greek yogurt for creamy dips, such as spinach and artichoke dip.
• Roast vegetables, such as acorn squash, and top it with a little honey and dried fruit for a healthy side dish!
