“Please leave the nutritionist at home” is a common sentiment of my family whenever there’s a party involved. I mean, come on, let’s not ruin a good party by being too healthy. It’s a common social idea that healthy and fun can’t go together in the same sentence. We say things like “Let’s be evil and eat cheesecake” and “I was naughty last night and drank lots of wine”. Party, fun, alcohol, sugar. Party, fun, water, vegetables. Hmmmm…. It’s also becoming more common, however, that people are so obsessed with healthy eating that God forbid a piece of cake pass through their lips. They scrutinise every nutrition information panel for sugar and even truly healthy foods get removed from the diet for fear that their consumption might end in peril. So how do we strike a healthy balance for healthy eating at Christmas time? In this two-part episode series, I’m chatting through a bunch of delicious and nutritious Christmas party food ideas so you can have fun and nourish your body at the same time!
