If you’re in charge of preparing Christmas lunch for family and friends, we’ve got some healthy and delicious options for each course right here.
At Christmas time it can be easy to get caught up in the mentality of indulgence and excess – but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Catching up with friends and family doesn’t have to mean that your healthy eating goes out the window.
In fact, by offering a healthy selection of food your guests will most likely feel great after lunch (instead of needing a nap!).
Starters and Appetisers
Think light and tasty, rather than heavy or fried. Make the most of seasonal produce to make healthy options like homemade dip, fresh bruschetta, or tasty savoury bites.
- Tuna and Cannellini Bean Dip
- Olive, Feta, Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
- Pumpkin And Spinach Bites
- Avocado and Corn Salsa; Minty Beetroot Hummus; and a Spinach and Ricotta Dip
Mains
Keep things simple and choose mains that don’t require too much attention.
We love these ‘set and forget’ options which you can even prepare the day before and serve cold if you prefer.
- 3 Ingredient Leg Of Lamb
- Grilled Pesto Salmon Skewers
- Simple Lemon Roast Chicken
- Roast Beef With Pepper and Mushroom Gravy
Salads and Sides
Here is your chance to dazzle your guests with good quality, colourful seasonal produce.
Add summer berries and fruits, roast your favourite veggies to toss through a cool salad, or grill some corn to add some crunch.
- Cranberry Waldorf Salad
- Easy Roasted Veggie Cous Cous Salad
- Warm Mexican Quinoa Salad
- Chickpea, Beetroot And Pumpkin Salad
- Corn On The Cob With Chilli and Lime
Desserts
Once again, it’s all about being able to prepare ahead of time.
Make these healthy desserts the day before so that you can enjoy time with family instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
We’ve got desserts using summer berries, fresh ricotta, baked fruit and of course there’s a chocolate option too.
- Nutty Berry Mess
- Ricotta Cheesecake
- Creamy Baked Pears with Amaretti Biscuits
- Chocolate Brownie Layer Cake
Desserts For Kids
For the little people, desserts need not be too complicated.
You can’t really go wrong with fresh fruit and chocolate – why not make a few and let them choose their favourites.
