Happy Holidays from our Harvest Home family to you and yours! We recommend shutting down the computer, putting away your cell phones and spending some time laughing and chatting with the ones you love. That's what the holidays are for!
In between the talking and the singing, the punch and the cookies, try sneaking in a tasty refreshing fruit salad. This festive dish make for a healthy and satisfying lunch between those heavy Holiday meals.
Make the salad your own by combining your favorite fruits including pineapple, cantaloupe, grapes, papaya, apples or bananas. Jazz it up with some colorful strawberries or blueberries. Don't forget the dressing! Fat-free plain yogurt makes an excellent dressing that keeps the calorie count low and aids in digestion. Fruit-tastic!
For Tangy Yogurt Dressing
- ½ cup plain yogurt mixed with ¼ cup lime juice and ¼ cup honey
For Sweet Yogurt Dressing
- 2 cups Greek yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp of brown sugar and 1 Tbsp of honey
REMEMBER: Holiday meals are celebrations! Eat everything, just not toooooo much of everything. If you get a little carried away (we all do), eat a little less the next day. Eat less, doesn't mean skip meals. Do your best to keep a regular meal schedule and don't skip breakfast. It really is the most important meal of day and helps give your body the boost it needs to get started.
Enjoy the Holidays! Enjoy the food! Save your waistline by balancing the meals you eat! Most importantly, have a happy and healthy holiday!
