20 Healthy Edible Holiday Gift Ideas

20 Healthy Edible Holiday Gift Ideas (gluten free and paleo) www.savorylotus.com

This is for all you DIYers out there.  Because making homemade gifts for the holidays always feels so good. 

It’s the last week of November, and I have holiday gifts on my mind.  I’ve always been one to show my love with food, so obviously homemade edible gifts are my thing.  As much as I love the holidays (and getting fun presents), there’s always something about the commercial aspect of it all that makes me cringe a little bit.  Anyone else with me on this?

It always makes me feel better to give homemade gifts. The little homesteader in me gets excited.  I know that I appreciate when someone takes the time to actually MAKE something for me.

Wondering what you could make for your friends and family?  Need some homemade holiday gift ideas?  No worries, I got you covered.  Today I’m sharing 20 edible holiday recipes that I have used myself personally for gifts at one time or another.  All healthy and made with real food ingredients. All gluten free and paleo.  All yummy and delicious.  Things you can feel good about sharing with your friends and family.

Imagine getting a sweet little jar of homemade healthy nutella.  Or a jar of golden milk turmeric paste to make the most delicious and cozy golden milk. Or a box of healthy dark chocolate trail mix bites.  Big smiles all around.  GUARANTEED!!  Plus you don’t have to break the bank to show the people in your life that you are thinking about them.

Let’s talk packaging for a moment.  Presentation is a big part of holiday gifting.  Here’s a list of sustainable packaging ideas for your healthy edible holiday gifts:

  • CUTE SMALL JARS for jams, nuts, nutella, coconut chips, and golden milk paste.  You could also use THESE.  If you want bigger ones, you could use THESE.   I happen to be one of those people that has an endless supply of saved jars in my kitchen cabinets.  I’ve also had good luck finding cute jars at thrift stores.
  • GIFT BOXES made from recycled materials make good cookie boxes.  Plus they are fun to decorate. ECO-FRIENDLY PAPER BAGS also work for cookies and other gifts. THESE recycled bags come with a cute label and ribbon.
  • REUSABLE COOKIE TINS come in many shapes and sizes.  And they can be reused again and again.  I’ve had good luck finding them at thrift stores.  I collect them throughout the year for holiday cookie season.
  • CLOTH or FABRIC works great for gift wrapping jars and other solid objects.  Use what you already have around the house.  Gently used scarves, old clothes that you no longer wear, scraps of fabric.  Get creative.

 

Peace and love to you and yours this holiday season!

xo,

Katja

 

NOTE:

Some of these edible gifts require refrigeration, so keep that in mind when sharing with friends and family.

👉 do you have digestive issues? 👉 because 👉 do you have digestive issues? 

👉 because of high stress lifestyles, many of us have an overworked, under-functioning digestive system, imbalanced intestinal flora and a continuous flow of intestinal toxins seeping into the bloodstream 😩 • constipation, diarrhea 💩, gas 💨, heartburn 🔥 + IBS are common complaints of many adults in the US

👉 impaired digestion leads to intestinal toxemia • slow digestion + constipation allow bacteria in the gut to act upon undigested food, producing toxic chemicals and gases that damage the mucous lining, resulting in increased intestinal permeability known as leaky gut • leaky gut can lead to inflammation , food sensitivities, autoimmune reactions, anxiety, depression, acne, + so much more

👉 the colon is one of our major drainage pathways for eliminating toxins + wastes out of the body • it’s no surprise that there has been a huge up-tick in colon cancer as environmental toxins + constipation have increased 

👉 what if our medical system had a better understanding of drainage pathways + the importance of digestive health? • what if our primary doctors talked to us about parasites, pathogens, enemas, saunas, hydration, mindful eating, low stomach acid, + real nutrition? • what if our food system wasn’t corporate sponsored and geared towards profits instead of health? 

👉 i personally had to see 5 different integrative + functional medicine practitioners in order to find real healing • none of it was covered by my insurance • not everyone can afford this • how do millions of people in the country suffer from digestive issues (which lead to a whole host of chronic health issues) but we have no real answer, just band-aids? • how much 💰 does the pharmaceutical industry make from these digestive issues • just starting the conversation • bc i see so many people suffering ❤️

👉P.S. my intention is not to harp on conventional medicine • i’ve been an RN for almost 17 years working bedside with women + their families • i’m speaking from my personal experience of seeing my patient population get sicker + sicker over the years • we are not doing it right • we are missing the mark 🎯
🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to cele 🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to celebrate • finding those small pockets of joy ✨✨ • so when someone i LOVE has a birthday, this is the cake i like to make ❤️ • BROWNIE BOTTOM ICE CREAM CAKE • two layers of your favorite ice cream nested on top of the most delicious gluten + grain free (+ vegan) brownie layer topped with fresh whipped cream, berries, + shaved chocolate • so easy to make and so fun to eat • to make dairy, use dairy free ice cream + coconut whipped cream
