25 “Healthy” Holiday Candy Recipes

25 "Healthy" Holiday Candy Recipes - www.savorylotus.com

It’s on!  Holiday season is here.  And you know there is going to be a gluttony of sweets happening.  But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.  Here’s 25 of my favorite “healthy” holiday candy recipes. 

Just cuz it’s the holidays doesn’t mean we all have to fall off the wagon and blow our real food diets.  It’s totally possible to create crazy good holiday candy with real food ingredients.  I’ll be the first to admit that I love holiday treats.  And it isn’t really the holidays without a bit of chocolate.  Wouldn’t you agree?

Some of my favorite memories from childhood revolve around baking and making sweets around the holidays. I still can taste the gingerbread cookies my mom used to make with us back home in Finland.  Honestly, I don’t want my kids to miss out on that.

So this year, I’ve put together some “healthy” alternatives from some of my favorite bloggers.  It’s actually pretty easy to make holiday candies with healthy fats and good quality ingredients.  They taste amazing and don’t have any of the artificial garbage that we all try to avoid.

Enjoy!

xo,

Katja

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
