Healthy bites for holiday delights (Plus, free recipes!)
If you're looking for healthier ways to entertain this summer holiday, try our healthy tips and tricks to tempt your guests with refreshing drinks and tasty snacks.
Refresh your guests with creative drinks
Store-bought sugary drinks are so 2019. Keep your family and holiday guests healthy and refreshed with homemade drinks that are tasty and lighter on the calories.
Your garden is your inspiration, your carafe your canvas. So, let your creative juices flow and infuse plain or sparkling water (hello, bubbles!) with fresh fruits and aromatic herbs like apple, basil, blueberries, coriander, cucumber, ginger, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lime, mint, rosemary, sage, thyme and turmeric. You can even brew your own iced tea. Download and save these easy recipes as your starting point:

Impress your guests with summertime snack boards
Snack boards are all the rage this summer. Tempt your guests with snacks that are scrumptious and deceptively nourishing by combining the following healthy treats:
Seeded rye bread with smoked salmon, hard boiled eggs, steamed asparagus, mini cucumbers batons, chive cottage cheese and guacamole.
Vanilla wholewheat crumpets served with peanut butter mousse, banana, raspberries, avocado, camembert cheese and exotic tomatoes.
Caprese kebabs, marinated feta and olives, char-grilled Greek chicken strips, rare roast beef or ostrich, tzatziki, gherkins, and vine tomatoes.
Baked falafel with wholewheat pita chips, reduced fat hummus, grilled eggplant, roasted peppers, and pickled cabbage.
Add your choice of raw nuts and fresh fruit to make them snacker-licious! And yes, you do get rewarded when you buy these ingredients at our Vitality HealthyFood partners.
