Treats Can Be Healthy

​Treats Can Be Healthy

December has a way of sneaking up on me. I get a few gifts, start planning our holiday schedule, and bam! Less than 3 weeks are left.

Although we try to steer away from a consumer-based holiday season, we still participate in the general merriment with our annual decorating of the twig and our homemade advent calendar for Maddie.

What's a homemade advent calendar consist of? Well I'm glad you asked. 

It's a set of little boxes, artfully decorated by your very own farmers, and filled with things that will delight our 2-year old.

Organic (some of it local) dried fruit, a locally purchased handmade wooden christmas ornament, pinecones, and other little marvels that make our toddler go "ooooh".

And while it is important to allow our little ones to live in a world of wonder and amazement, it is just as important to treat us older folks too!

Since blenders have become all the rave, a multitude of recipes have become available, most of them featuring a healthy dose of greens.

Here are a few of my holiday cocktail favourites, which I tend to consume sans alcohol, but are really intended to contain a bit of holiday spirit:
  • The signature Green Margarita from Blender Babes
  • The Spiced Butternut Whiskey Drop by Swooned Magazine
  • The Frozen Apple Cider Slushee Cocktail by Healthfully Ever After
And don't be put off by some of the exotic ingredients (I see you, Black Walnut Bitters). Play with the recipes, omit the sugar, add maple syrup.

In all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, one must remember to have fun!
