My Favorite Healthy Christmas Recipes

Since I just recently published the giant collection of all my cookie recipes, they’re not included in today’s holiday round-up post.

What follows are all of my other holiday-themed recipes, from breakfast to dinner to dessert. And if you missed the giant holiday cookie post, see this link.

Now, on to everything else…

…………Secretly Healthy Cookie Dough Truffles

These are always quick to disappear at parties, and no one ever guesses the secret ingredient.

………………..Chocolate Grasshopper Pie

Cool peppermint, dark chocolate, and no green food coloring whatsoever!

…………………Cheesy Polenta Casserole

This one’s obviously not a dessert, but it’s a nice change of pace from the parade of sweets on offer during the holidays. Filled with creamy polenta and cheesy veggies, it’s one of those recipes that makes you feel really good and energized after eating it.

……………….Christmas Cookie Ice Cream

This sugar-cookie twist on traditional cookie dough ice cream is best eaten in front of a fireplace. Or on a beach in Florida. I’ll take the latter, please.

……………..“Starbucks” Gingerbread Lattes

With so much coconut whipped cream… that gingerbread man is the luckiest guy in the world.

……………………Candy Cane Pudding

Creamy peppermint pudding topped with cacao nibs and pomegranate seeds. This is also really good as a thick, pourable version of whipped heavy cream—try it over chocolate cake!
