During December you may be invited to end of year celebrations for preschool, school, work or gatherings with family and friends to celebrate the festive season.
If you’re asked to bring a plate, you may wonder what you can take that is delicious but won’t derail you from your healthy eating plan.
Today we have some of our top picks that you can make, take along and enjoy guilt free.
Healthy Strawberry Santas
Instead of using calorie heavy pastry or biscuit, these little renditions of the man in red him-self use delicious, in-season strawberries. The traditional whipped cream that is often a staple of festive desserts is replaced with low fat cream cheese, creating a simple but yummy sweet treat or dessert that is both low in fat and high in bone loving calcium.
