What to Bring to a Holiday Gathering?!
We like to keep a few things in mind when choosing the perfect dish to bring to a gathering. These appetizers promote blood sugar balance by incorporating foods rich in healthy fats, fiber, protein and antioxidants - making them perfect for any celebration. Feel free to add your own personal twist!
Stuffed Mushrooms: Stuffed mushrooms are the ultimate crowd-pleaser! These flavor bombs are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare. Mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and minerals, they also contain a soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which can help to strengthen the immune system.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Roasted Brussels sprouts can be the ultimate side dish that is packed with vitamin K and C, fiber, and antioxidants. These sulfur-rich cruciferous veggies are also a powerhouse for your detoxification pathways. The crunchy bits of pancetta and tang from the balsamic make this dish burst with flavor!
Meatballs dipped in Herby Detox Green Sauce: Bite size meatballs perfectly paired with a creamy herbal sauce. This app is perfect to kick off your night, the protein from the meatballs helps to stabilize and balance blood sugar and set a solid base for a healthy metabolism. These are loaded with fresh herbs which are nutritional powerhouses that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits - not to mention bring all the flavor!
Cranberry Ginger Mocktail: This refreshing mocktail is not only delicious, but also supports digestion! The bitter compounds in cranberry juice stimulate our digestive secretions, like digestive enzymes and bile, that help us optimally breakdown and absorb the nutrients in our food and overall improve digestion. Paired with ginger, to give it a spicy kick that helps soothe digestion!
