The festive season can be an indulgent time when it comes to eating. But my top ten healthy snacks will keep you and the family from piling on the pounds.

​

Christmas is a magical time of year. For some, it’s also an excuse to totally ditch the regular diet and exercise routines. And, although it’s tempting in the moment to over-indulge, it’s an annual tradition your waistline (and digestive system) could probably do without!

​

Research shows that adults alone will eat an extra 2,410 calories a day over Christmas, with many eating a whopping 4,350-calorie roast dinner on the big day itself. Rich puddings and cakes, bottomless tins of chocolates, roasties and bubbles can see some people put on 2lbs between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

I want to share with you some of my favourite healthy holiday treats you and your family will love.
