New Year, New You with Dairy

It’s time to put down the cookies, cakes, eggnog, champagne, and other holiday treats!

As we enjoy the last of the festivities and celebrations of 2022, reality hits: New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. And with it, time to make a resolution. What will your New Year’s resolution be this year?

Odds are, on your list of potential resolutions is the idea of living a healthier lifestyle. And you’re not alone in making that resolve. It’s one of the most popular resolutions every year. The intention to get healthy and fit is well meaning. If you want to try again this year, let us help make keeping your healthy resolution easier.

First, toss the word “diet” out of your vocabulary. Instead, focus on eating healthy. Meals can be tasty and satisfying to your palette, while healthy at the same time.

Secondly, dairy can be part of simple, everyday routines that you can use to stay on track with your resolution and build healthy habits throughout the year.

Here are some recipe ideas that can help get your resolution off to a good start as you baby step toward your goal.

Breakfast:

You don’t have to swear off sweets. That’s a recipe for disaster. Everything in moderation.

Snack:

Turn to protein-filled snacks to satisfy the hangry craving that occurs between meals. Don’t let it get the best of you.

Lunch:

Using fresh ingredients brings out the best in flavor and might entice you to stick with your healthy eating plan.

Afternoon Drink:

Sipping on liquids in between meals helps stave off hunger. Tea, anyone?

Appetizer:

Be a little adventurous and tantalize your tastebuds with a variety of flavors. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

Dinner:

Variety is the spice of life! Eating the same thing over and over does get boring. Explore new recipes!

Evening Drink:

End your day on a relaxing note and try to get a good night’s sleep.

The third Sunday of January is when most people are likely to give up on their health and fitness goals for the year. Don’t let that happen to you.

Stick with the plan of wholesome eats with ideas from SavorRecipes.com. Little by little, and before you realize, you’ll be celebrating the next new year with perhaps a bit of a different focus in mind for a resolution.
