The holiday season is upon us, a time when comfort food abounds. These foods need not derail your health to taste yummy. MedShadow scoured TikTok for some of the most festive, but also healthy holiday recipes to add to your holiday spreads. Below, find recipes for vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, and Whole30 diets. Stick to your health plan. Indulge a little, but there’s no need to totally ditch the healthy lifestyle during the holidays!

Besides the holidays falling at peak cold-and-flu season, there are plenty of benefits to staying healthy during this hectic time of year. For one, your mood is very closely tied to your diet. Altering your typical diet can also change your sleeping habits. Sleep is another important factor to keeping you health, so stick to foods and timings that allow you to comfortably sleep.

Here are some healthy holiday recipes to keep you on track for the holiday season to help you remain happy, jolly, and bright!

Cucumber-Cream Cheese Bites

Cooling cucumber and cream cheese make a low-carb treat that still tastes indulgent. Pump up the protein and healthy fats by topping it with small slices of smoked salmon. Can’t find cream cheese or want a healthy alternative? Try Greek yogurt. Start your healthy recipes search here.

Salad Cups

Stuff all the nutrition of a salad into a fun, bite-size snack with a little crunch. Not into deep frying the cups? Bake some phyllo dough in a cupcake tin to make your cups, or consider a sturdy lettuce “cup.”
