Winter greens topped with citrus and fennel makes a delicious salad for a healthier holiday .
It’s been called the most wonderful time of the year. But holiday stress is not uncommon. But do you feel anxious because you’ve battled all year long to reach health and fitness goals, and now you’re bombared with Pinteresty images of foods loaded with sugar and saturated fat? Reality check. While indulging on a few treats this season is perfectly normal and A-okay in my book, your primary intake should still consist of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources, nuts and seeds, and low fat dairy. Here’s my attempt to compete with sugar plums and gingerbread.
