During the holiday season it’s easy to get wrapped up in all of the holiday parties and especially the yummy holiday food. Here are some tips you can use to eat healthier during the holiday season so you don’t start the new year with too much regret.

1. If you’re traveling a lot this holiday season, map out some healthy breakfast possibilities that you can find almost anywhere.

2. Make “smoothie packs” by portioning out the fruit you need for a smoothie, then freezing it.

3. Make lower-carb, gluten-free noodles with your favorite root vegetable.

4. Before you make any crazy New Year’s diet resolutions, figure out what your goals are and what kinds of changes are actually realistic.

5. Be aware of portion sizes, especially if you’re at a party where everything is served buffet-style and it might be harder to keep track of what you’re eating.

6. Make a kale salad that’s really, truly filling and delicious.

7. Put together some healthy, make-ahead freezer meals so that you always have a wholesome dinner option on-hand.

And don’t forget to enjoy yourself this holiday season! It’s okay to eat that slice of pie, just remember enjoy everything in moderation!

Happy Holidays!
