You’re probably saying, “Who wants to think about diet and nutrition now? Save it for the New Year’s Resolutions!”There are alternatives, if you do want to enjoy sweets without the negative effects of sugar and artificial sweeteners. There are great resources out there, like those listed in the left margin, categorized as the food blogs I follow. One amazing example is Healing Cuisine by Elise. In fact, she entered a recipe in the Gluten-free Cookie Swap. (She’d love it, if you’d vote for her.)
Another possibility is downloading a FREE Holiday Recipes eCookbook, when you “like” Maxmized Living on Facebook. Also, at McCoy Fitness, you can pick up your FREE Clean Zone Diet Cookbook!
As was mentioned in Mick’s up Merry, you should go ahead and plan to have some good ole sweets, etc., but the key is to plan. “If you typically ‘pig out’ once per week, hold off and do it every two. Have a blast and eat like it’s your last meal for 3-4 meals (not days)!”
I’ll leave you with this recipe for eggnog. Yummy!!
Super Easy Egg Nog (1 serving)
This is an individual serving size of eggnog. It is quick and easy, healthy and a great treat especially during the holidays.
Ingredients 1 whole egg
½ cup pine nuts or chopped pecans (optional)
¼ teaspoon organic vanilla
¼-½ teaspoon stevia or xylitol, or to taste
1 cup coconut milk
Nutmeg to taste
1 pinch sea salt
Directions Beat the egg with the sweetener of your choice along with salt. Pour into a glass. Add vanilla and
milk and stir to mix. Sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on top.
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
