Holiday beverages bring us cheer and help us remember and create fond memories! Such as sharing hot chocolate by the fire and sharing stories.
The challenge is they also translate into lots of extra/empty sugar, fat and calories we normally wouldn’t consume!
Overdone, these loved holiday beverages contribute to inches around our waistline, and the dreaded extra few pounds that studies show most people gain around the holidays. Specifically, the average holiday beverage can contain upwards of 350 calories and most are created using milk, sugar, alcohol and all sort of chemicals for flavor.
You may be asking yourself, how can I enjoy the holiday season, stay healthy and not feel deprived? I am going to address five common holiday drinks that are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic that you’re likely to come across, and Beauty Detox way to substitute them!
Here are 5 ways to help you get through the holidays without the guilt!
The average latte from a coffeehouse, is made with vanilla flavors, milk, coffee, tons of sugar and whipped cream. There a more then a few Beauty Detox no-no’s involved here!
You may be surprised by how easy it is to substitute this beverage for healthy, tasty treat!
My Vegan Vanilla Latte Recipe only uses 3 ingredients! Unsweetened vanilla almond or coconut milk and stevia to sweeten!
Egg Nog is traditionally served around the holidays and is a heavy, sweetened dairy-based beverage, where you um, drink eggs.
It may sound odd to the non-egg nog drinker, such as yours truly, as it was never part of my holiday traditions growing up. But I know that some of you grew up with it and love it.
To create this drink you traditionally use milk, cane sugar, and whipped eggs and garnish with a cinnamon or nutmeg. You may think…how the heck can I make this drink be Beauty Detox approved?
Here’s The Recipe!
