Hack Your Holiday Favorites

The holiday season can quickly derail your healthy habits if you’re not prepared. Our Registered Dietitian, Lindsey K. Hughes provides a few easy tips to keep you on track!

DOWNSIZE YOUR YOUR DRINK

• Consider whether a smaller size will hit the spot.

DO DAIRY DIFFERENTLY

• For lattes and cappuccinos, shift from whole milk to low fat or skim. Non-Dairy milk is also often lower in calories.

SKIP THE WHIP

• Leave off the extras! The calories from whip cream and sugary toppings like caramel really add up.

CUT THE SYRUP IN HALF

• Ask for fewer pumps of your desired drink. Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor without added sugar.

SHARE YOUR SWEETS

• To cut back on calories and guilt, share a scone with a special friend. Purchase a mini version of your favorite treat.
