Holiday Hurrahs – Weight Loss Included!
Heading into Christmas weekend, you cannot help but feel the holiday cheer in the air, even if you do not celebrate Christmas. After watching your diet so far through the holidays, you may be longing for your own holiday cheer, but you certainly do not deserve to gain weight just because you want a treat. Here are some ideas.
Snack Mix for Parties
Spend some time with friends, and food is sure to be involved. You are kidding yourself if you expect healthy fare without bringing your own; instead, the nibbles are likely to be starch-laden crunchy snacks, sugar-laden sweets, or fatty fried foods.
Protect yourself against the after-party bellyache with Protein Party Mix with 10 grams of protein for the salty taste buds, or Chocolate Coated Protein Puffs with 15 grams of protein to satisfy your sweet tooth. They give you the guilt-free grab for your party!
Hot Cocoa during Family Time
Family time is priceless anytime, and especially this time of year. There is almost nothing better than sitting with your loved ones in front of the fireplace or in the dining room, a cup of hot cocoa in hand. The only thing better may be when the cocoa is high in protein and low in sugar.
We aim to please, and that is why we offer Hot Protein Drinks, including Hot Cocoa in Classic and other flavors, including Marshmallow, Cinnamon, Amaretto, and Irish Cream. Curl up with your favorite and enjoy the moment, even more, knowing you are getting 15 grams of protein and only 2 grams of sugar. Each box has 7 packets, so you might as well stash a few at work, too.
Cookie Time!
When you are entertaining friends or going caroling, Christmas cookies are not to be missed. We do not suggest you dive into a platter of gingerbread men or fudge candy since that can set you back a few days’ worth of sugar. However, we do suggest you get your flavor fix in other ways!
Gingerbread Protein Cake Mix has 80 grams of protein and 130 calories. It is ready in minutes with just water, which makes it far faster and easier than whipping up a batch of gingerbread cookies. Rather than the artery-clogging fat and gut-busting sugar of shortbread cookies, you might consider chowing down on a Crispy Shortbread Protein Bar – already frosted! Finally, who needs candy when you can get your fudge from a Fudge Brownie Protein Square?
This weekend, focus on what’s important: the people in your life, and enjoying them. Make the times a little sweeter with favorite flavors, and remember to have Happy Holidays!
