The holiday season is upon us!
The time for friendship, family, fellowship, company gatherings, sugary
drinks and unhealthy food.
We at Nutritious Meets Delicious are here to help you navigate these
holidays without putting on the holiday 15 and the inflammation that
comes with it.
This Holiday Food Guide will help you make the healthiest decisions
at luncheons, happy hours, holiday parties, potlucks, office break
rooms, and the Grand Poobah… Christmas Dinner.
We look forward to seeing you on the other side 15 pounds NOT
heavier, and feeling good heading into 2026.
