Are you celebrating the Academy Awards with friends or family tonight?
Don’t use it as an excuse to blow your commitment to healthy eating … use it as an opportunity to introduce others to how DELICIOUS real food can be! Wouldn’t you prefer that your friends remember your amazing Kale Quinoa Tabbouleh than remember a post-party pizza-wings-chips hangover?
And, healthy celebrations do NOT have to be boring – quite the contrary! One of the best things about healthy foods is how beautiful they are. Cheese and veggie platters can be virtual works of art … nature’s rainbow! Imagine an hour into your party: contrast cold, congealed pizza with avocado chimichurri bruscetta or layered fiesta salad.
