The holiday season is here! Registered Dietitian Mia Syn is here with tips and menu ideas to help make your holiday gatherings easy, delicious and nutritious.
1. Lighten up your sauces, gravies, grain dishes and mashed potatoes by cooking with bone broth instead of cream and butter: Bone broth can be a versatile and flavorful ingredient to lighten up various dishes for very few calories while adding a punch of protein.
2. Save time in the kitchen with one-skillet dishes: These meals are easy to make, and easy to serve with minimal clean-up required.
3. Put a plant-based twist on holiday dessert recipes with bean and pistachio blondies: When cooked and rinsed well, beans can add moisture and fudginess
to baked goods like brownies and blondies while cutting back on the amount of fat and flour needed.
4. Cheers with better-for-you cocktails and mocktails: The holidays are all about moderation and not deprivation.
