Christmas is right around the corner and boy! Parties are from left to right. And it is not just ordinary parties where we can have cake and soda; during the season of giving you will find yourselves in banquet full of delicious and hearty meals that you may want to put your healthy normal diet aside. But don't you know that you can also prepare some Christmas dishes that can be really healthy and mouth watering at the same time? Yes, you can! And here are some of the healthy Christmas dish ideas that you can serve for the entire family.
You could always serve some appetizers or soup before your family can enjoy your hearty main course, right? So to make it really healthy, why not serve some selection of dips made with low fat yogurt and cucumber, sweet peppers pureed to perfection, and even avocado and tomato? You can make some vegetable sticks made out of carrots and cucumber, and toasted pitta bread which is a really healthy choice. For soup, you can always make vegetable winter soup that is perfect for the cold season.
So for the main course: turkey or goose? Well, turkey is by far the better choice for it has more protein and has much lesser fat compare to say, duck or goose. Just stay away from the skin, however, for it is the part that is usually high in fat. Pair your turkey with a scoop of mash potato. Potatoes are good source of carbohydrate which will then be converted into energy. Apart from carbohydrate, potatoes also have a bunch of fiber and other minerals.
