Your Holiday Swap Guide: Enjoy Every Bite Without the Regret

The holidays are for celebrating - not for stressing over every calorie or starting January full of guilt. These 10 simple swaps let you keep the flavors, feelings, and traditions you love while staying in control of portions, energy, and progress. 

→ Baked Cinnamon Apple with a handful of crushed walnuts (~150–200 cal) Warm, sweet, nutty, and tastes like dessert without the sugar coma. 

→ Roasted Green Beans tossed with garlic and sliced almonds Same crunch, fresher taste, zero mystery canned soup. 

→ Mashed cauliflower (or 50/50 cauliflower + potato blend) Still velvety, way more volume, half the carbs. 

→ Roasted sweet potato wedges or stuffed mini bell peppers Slow-burning carbs + fiber = you stay full longer and skip the bloat. 

→ Baked spaghetti squash with light cheese sauce (~180 cal) All the comfort, extra veggies, and you can take seconds guilt-free. 

→ Skinless turkey breast + gravy on the side Ssaves hundreds of calories and still tastes like Thanksgiving. 

→ Unsweetened almond-milk nog or sparkling water + cranberry juice + lime wedge Festive vibes, zero heaviness. 

→ 2-Ingredient banana-oat cookies (or your favorite protein cookie bites) Soft, sweet, and you know exactly what’s in them. 

→ A small handful of dark chocolate-covered almonds Rich chocolate flavor + healthy fats that actually shut cravings down. 

→ Bowl of plain Greek yogurt + drizzle of honey + crushed gingersnap on top Creamy, tangy, crunchy, and feels like an actual dessert.
