Ideas: Healthy Christmas snacks

Keep the waistline in check with these healthy Christmas food ideas

Healthy food and Christmas are not usually in the same sentence. We are brought up to indulge in chocolate, sweets and alcohol during the Holiday season but there is a delicious range of healthy Christmas food recipes and ideas available if you want to look after you and your family.

Of course have some chocolate, it's Christmas after all! But why not try some of these delicious dishes?

Homemade bran muffins topped with pistachio nuts or a fruit salad shaped like a Christmas tree make a healthy Christmas breakfast solution. And it might be hard to steer away from the traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings but the healthy alternatives are delicious too! For starters pair shrimp and avocado or watermelon and feta to get mouths watering! And as for the mains, opt for grilled chicken served with a colourful bean salad and berry jelly for dessert.
