Changing habits can be a bit difficult at first, but no doubt to notice the difference will be convinced that these changes are the best for health.
As a snack for the Christmas dinner we can cut carrots and cucumbers in julienne style and add a spinach dip with cheese. Also, you can make a Christmas tree but made of dried fruits to give it a Christmas and more original touch; you can use dehydrated banana for the trunk of the tree, and the whole tree made of dehydrated apple; for the tree decorations you can use raisins and prunes.
If you can get fresh pears you can cut them into slices, add sesame and honey; so you will have a healthier and more delicious snack for your relatives. Also with these you can make a tree. Place the pears in the shape of a Christmas tree and the sesame and honey as if they were the Christmas tree ornaments. If you don´t have fresh pears, you can also use dried pears to make this wonderful snack.
One of the most delicious fruits and which are used in this season are grapes; you can use grapes with Philadelphia cheese and walnut. You may use green grapes without seeds. The first thing to do is to wash the grapes, then grind the nuts in the blender, they can be left in small pieces and place them on a plate. Then use Philadelphia cheese to spread and wrap the grapes in the cheese and pass them over the nuts. If you want to reduce calories you can use a light version of the cheese; to decorate the plate you can place cherries around the plate.
Another very easy snack is cheese snack; cut the cheese into small squares and place chopsticks so that the guests can eat it. The advantage of this is that you can use any type of cheese.
Another option is to place a tray with almonds, nuts and natural peanuts and another tray with dried fruits with apricots, apples, raisins, apple, pears, bananas and pineapple. We remind you that you should always check that when you buy the fruits, verify that they do not have added sugar.
Due to the sweet taste of dehydrated fruit people can get confused and think that these fruits are not healthy. However, the sweet taste is because the concentration of fructose. This happens because they are smaller than the fresh ones. At the time of drying, the fruit loses approximately 80% of its size because the water is eliminated (fruits have a lot of water, in some cases water represents more than 80%); and, nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and fructose are concentrated in these type of fruits.
