25 “Healthy” Holiday Candy Recipes

25 "Healthy" Holiday Candy Recipes - www.savorylotus.com

It’s on!  Holiday season is here.  And you know there is going to be a gluttony of sweets happening.  But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.  Here’s 25 of my favorite “healthy” holiday candy recipes. 

Just cuz it’s the holidays doesn’t mean we all have to fall off the wagon and blow our real food diets.  It’s totally possible to create crazy good holiday candy with real food ingredients.  I’ll be the first to admit that I love holiday treats.  And it isn’t really the holidays without a bit of chocolate.  Wouldn’t you agree?

Some of my favorite memories from childhood revolve around baking and making sweets around the holidays. I still can taste the gingerbread cookies my mom used to make with us back home in Finland.  Honestly, I don’t want my kids to miss out on that.

So this year, I’ve put together some “healthy” alternatives from some of my favorite bloggers.  It’s actually pretty easy to make holiday candies with healthy fats and good quality ingredients.  They taste amazing and don’t have any of the artificial garbage that we all try to avoid.

Enjoy!

xo,

Katja

🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gi 🍋 🍋 LEMON POPPY SEED DONUTS • when life gives you a bag of lemons, you make the best of it • even though we prioritize healthy eating, there’s room for treats like these • we call it balance 😉 • baking is one of my favorite things to do with my little one👩‍🍳 • we’ve had a year solid of being home, distance learning, + missing being out in the world • baking is one of those small pockets of JOY that brightens our daily life ☀️☀️

🍋 🍋 light and fluffy (gluten and grain free) donuts dipped them in a sweet lemony glaze • the bright lemon flavor kinda adds a bit of sunshine to the day 🍋☀️🍋

🍋 🍋 recipe link in bio (and i linked the donut pan that i use in the post): https://www.savorylotus.com/lemon-poppy-seed-donuts-gluten-free-and-grain-free/
sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of the easier + most cost effective ways to support your gut • i make it every couple of months • its easy once you understand the basics of fermentation • i have a step by step tutorial if you’re ready to dive in ✨✨

link to tutorial in bio : https://www.savorylotus.com/easy-sauerkraut-recipe/

what you’ll need:
cabbage
salt
1/2 gallon wide mouth mason jar (or you can use 2 wide mouth quart sized jars)
air-tight fermentation lid
🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • crucifer 🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • cruciferous vegetable = superfoods • this + sweet potato rounds + a big cup of bone broth is what’s up for dinner 

collard green
green cabbage
purple cabbage 
carrot 
tons of fresh ginger 

👉 and, yes, not everyone tolerates cruciferous vegetables • i didn’t used too • i’ve done a lot of work on my gut + digestion • and i still prefer them cooked as they are easier to digest • eat slowly • give thanks (gratitude has a positive effect on the nervous system) • chew well (so your body can release all the enzymes needed to digest your food) ❤️• it’s so so important to eat in a relaxed environment so the body can rest + digest • eating while in “hurry” mode leads to indigestion and poor absorption
simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a w simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a week to get in those omega 3s • my favorite way to cook it is to sprinkle with salt + a bit of ghee on top + broil it for 8-9 minutes • so easy + today we added steamed green beans + a cauliflower + romanesco mash • plus tons of olive oil + ghee

to make cauliflower + romanesco mash, add florets from one head of each to a large pot • add in 1 cup of bone broth + sprinkle with a bit of salt • cover with lid • steam florets in broth until tender, adding more broth if bottom runs dry • once florets are very tender, add lots of ghee or butter + salt to taste • purée smooth with an immersion blender • add more broth to make it creamy smooth • so good 💛• don’t forget to add a ghee (or butter) pool when serving 

when we can’t get wild, local salmon, we order from @vitalchoice
