5 Simple Food Swaps for a Healthier Holiday Season

November 17, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

This post brought to you by DairyPure Milk. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Stuff Parents Need.

Over the next 6 weeks you will probably be cooking (and eating!) more recipes than usual. While prepping your holiday menus, there may be some simple food swaps you can make that will enhance the nutritional value of your dishes without compromising great taste or presentation. Here are 5 ideas to help you get started.

1. Brown Rice

The simple switch to brown rice instead of white rice yields 67% more vitaming B3, 80% more vitamin B1, 90% more vitamin B6 and 60% more iron! Boom!

2. DairyPure Milk

By choosing dairy products with the DairyPure logo on it, you are choosing the exclusive 5 Point Purity Promise:

• No artificial growth hormones (No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from cows treated with the artificial growth hormone rbST and non‐rbST‐treated cows).

• All milk is tested for antibiotics

• Continuously quality tested to ensure purity

• Only from cows fed a healthy diet

• Cold shipped fresh from your local dairy

This switch couldn’t be easier! You can Learn more about DairyPure on their website, or follow DairyPure on Facebook and get DairyPure Recipe inspiration on Pinterest.

3. Spinach

Power up your veggies by featuring this superfood. It’s a nutrient-dense powerhouse, and it’s gorgeous color looks magnificent on the dinner table (throw in another superfood, pomegranate seeds, for a festive red and green look!).

4. Honey

From allergy relief to memory boosting properties, there are SO many reasons to work honey into your diet! As you make all those sweet treats, set aside that nutritionally useless white sugar and go for honey!

5. Sweet Potatoes

This time of year, mashed potatoes are a staple side dish, but why not choose sweet potatoes instead? Vitamins B6, D and Iron are among the benefits of this inexpensive veggie, making it a smart alternative to a standard baking potato, which doesn’t have nearly as much to offer.
