Christmas is certainly a time to indulge in family time, a deserved rest and delicious foods. Delicious doesn't always have to mean calorie laden however as the recipes below prove..
Spiced Apple Cider
Start your meal off with this spicy (and slightly spiked)
cider. Brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon add the classic
holiday flavors, while keeping each cup under 200 calories.
And be sure to make an alcohol-free batch for the kids.
Roasted Green Beans
This simple side combines olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tarragon, and green beans to create a delectable dish. You'll get 4 grams of figure-friendly fiber for only 50 calories.
Garlic Mash
Small amounts of butter and milk give this recipe a rich texture, but garlic finishes the dish with an added zing. Plus, this recipe calls for unpeeled potatoes, which means you're getting all of the heart-healthy fiber in the skin.
Brussel sprouts and Roast Chesnuts
Add some serious seasoning to your sprouts with this low-cal side dish recipe. Caraway, chestnuts, and just the right amount of olive oil are the perfect addition to this mild veggie. If you have the means, roast your own chestnuts, but bottled chestnuts will save you time if you're in a rush.
