Healthy Christmas
Following on from the illuminating suggestions about healthy alternatives for a healthy Christmas dinner here we offer our seasonal ideas for healthy festive snacks
Did you know?
- There are almost 6g of fat in a single 37ml shot of Bailey's Irish Cream?
- Two cans of Stella Artois contain 442 calories (the same as 1.5 Mars bars)?
- Just one segment of a Terry's Chocolate Orange has 46 calories and 2.5g of fat?
Instead of: Dry-roasted or salted peanuts
Why not: Brazil nuts, peanuts and walnuts in their shells. There's no added salt and trying to open them will give you a work out too!
Instead of: Closed shop-bought mince pies with cream or sugar
Why not: Open-topped home-baked mince pies (less sugar and calories) with apple slices or clementine pie.
Instead of fun food why not no-fun food?
Keep your powder dry and your blood pressure low - seasons greetings!
