This Christmas, enjoy a healthier twist on the traditional festive meal with five nutritious course alternatives. Start with a light and refreshing sourdough pesto bruschetta, topped with avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and beets. For the main course, opt for grilled lemon and herb turkey breast, marinated in a flavourful blend of mint, cilantro, garlic, and turmeric. The side dish is a creamy honey roasted cauliflower mash, offering a low-calorie, high-fibre alternative to mashed potatoes. A healthier Christmas pudding, made with dried fruits, whole wheat flour, and almonds, provides a sweet yet nutritious finish. To drink, indulge in a warm, alcohol-free hot cider spiced with apples, cinnamon, and ginger. These healthy swaps let you enjoy a festive feast without the extra calories.
