Ever Attended A Healthy Office Party? No? Take the lead and throw one!
How much weight do think you gain every year just by attending all of the
holiday office parties and then for weeks after, consuming all of the leftover
cookies and candy that hang out in the office? How about the additional food and
snacks that are brought in every day during the holiday season? Almost everyone
I know, who works in an office, knows how difficult it can be to go through
their daily activities at work without constantly dipping into the cookies,
candy and junk food that are not nutritious and help you to pack on the
calories!
Take the following steps to throw a healthier holiday party! When your office
co-workers begin to talk about this year's holiday party, take the lead and
suggest a few healthy dishes or appetizers that people will enjoy! Even though
you may not get everyone to join you, and others will have a choice between the
healthier foods (but just as tasty) and the weight gaining foods! Here are some
delicious, simple recipe ideas for your office party:
Black Bean Dip with Multigrain chips! Mix together the following ingredients and
serve with multigrain chips: One can sweet corn, drained, one can black beans,
well rinsed and drained, one big tomato chopped, one small red onion chopped,
one tbsp minced garlic, one ripe avacado, chopped into chunks, one half cup
olive oil, one fourth cup balsamic vinegar.
Tomato Salsa! Mix together the following ingredients and serve chilled with
multigrain chips. This healthy snack is great tasting, and has holiday colors,
red and green: 8 to 10 tomatoes with seeds removed, 1/2 cup of chopped red
onion, 5 tablespoons of fresh parsley (1 big handful-chopped), juice from 1
fresh lime, 4 cloves of garlic, minced, 1 to 2 teaspoons of sea salt (to taste),
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (organic is best), and up to 1 jalepeno pepper,
chopped (optional).
The Best Tossed Salad! This is a salad that everyone will love and then prepare
for their own parties. It all has to do with adding a little bit of sweet and a
lot of crunchiness that makes this salad stand out! Mix together in a large
serving bowl, your own amounts (depending on the size of your party) of:
lettuce, sliced cucumbers, chopped carrots, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets,
thinly sliced red onion, sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, dried cranberries
(ocean spray and others produce this sweet, red, dried fruit) and top with
herb/garlic croutons (we suggest Chatham Village croutons) Put on the table a
couple of dressings (good season's Italian is great with this!) and parm cheese
to add to the salad.
You will not gain weight, you will boost your energy levels and end your sugar
cravings (and crashes) if you adopt a few healthy changes! Get our FREE December
