I can’t believe Christmas is already here! To help you plan your Holiday Menu, I’m sharing some Clean Eating Holiday Side Dish Recipes to help balance out your menu. Holiday meals tend to be on the richer, heavier side, after all it’s a time of celebration. I try to serve a few lighter courses because it helps keep me on track better. Sure, I love to indulge during the holidays too, but having healthier options on the table provides a visual cue for me.

I’m sure your guests will appreciate having some lighter choices as well, so they can enjoy some holiday sweets at the end of the meal. These Clean Eating recipes are made with fresh whole foods, all vibrant in flavor and packed with nutrients to keep you going through the holiday season. Choosing local, fresh, organic produce will yield the best results. It’s well worth it for this celebratory meal.

      I hear you on those cookies. I think that’s why I only bake during the holidays!

    Thanks! I’m thinking roasted brussel sprouts and maybe a squash casserole to go along with our DUCK “project” (lol) this Christmas.

    Everything looks delicious but I especially love the simple roasted broccoli and cherry tomatoes which are so festive looking too! We’ll be indulging in roast beef and a super rich potato dish, but I’m also serving Brusslels Sprouts w/ pecans and feta and my raw power salad on the side for a little something healthier 🙂 Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas Jeanette!
