Today, I’m sharing 16 Clean Eating Holiday Side Dishes, just in time for planning your holiday menus. Round out your Holiday menus with two or more of these healthier side dishes. Naturally vibrant in color, they’ll light(en) up any holiday table.
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 definitely need to make some of these for the holidays. To balance out all the cookies I’ve been making!
I hear you on those cookies. I think that’s why I only bake during the holidays!
Fabulous roundup of hearty, healthy sides for the holidays! Thanks for sharing, Jeanette!
Thanks Georgia – Happy Holidays!
You’re making my Christmas menu planning infinitely easier with these round-ups!
Davida- I’m sure you’ll have a terrific Christmas menu planned!
Thanks! I’m thinking roasted brussel sprouts and maybe a squash casserole to go along with our DUCK “project” (lol) this Christmas.
Sounds perfect Robyn!
I am not even sure I need a main at all! Those side dishes are marvelous, Jeanette.
Angie – I actually prefer sides to the main course many times.
a real feast of terrific sides for the holidays,thanks for sharing 🙂
I love all this healthy side dish inspiration!! Definitely needed it this year.
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!
great round up! Trying to decide which to make!
