Instead of:-
- Mulled wine have spicy herbal teas infused with oranges, manuka honey and pomegranate juice (fresh)
- Prawn cocktail – have a prawn and smoked salmon salad
- Roasted salted nuts – crack your own natural nuts (you eat far less)
- Mince pies – bake using filo pastry and swap some mincemeat for sliced apple
- Christmas pud – make a hot fruit compote with dates, apple, lemon juice and fresh ginger or mix wholemeal bread with dried fruit and cinnamon
- Cheese and biscuits – swap for rice cakes with cream or cottage cheese and smoked salmon with cucumber
- Stuffing balls – use good quality sausage meat, plus chestnuts and dried cherries or apricots
- Pigs in blankets – ditch the bacon and get 90% organic meat sausages and cut into chunks
