Nutritious Meets Delicious

How to Eat, Drink & Be Merry

So here we are! That time of year.

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.

CHEERS TO YOUR HEALTH!!!
