]]> Gingerbread cookies are one of the staples of the holiday season, but they should be eaten in moderation, just like any other sweet treat. If you’re trying to make your favorite recipe a little bit healthier, start with these three useful tips.

Healthier Flour

One of the first steps you should take in an attempt to make your gingerbread cookies healthier is replacing white flour with a healthier alternative. Whole-wheat flour, coconut flour, and almond flour are extremely popular these days, especially if you’re trying to make gluten-free cookies.

Butter and Sugar Substitutes

White flour isn’t the only common gingerbread cookie ingredient with a healthier substitute. You can also use vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter and replace white sugar with healthier and more natural sweeteners.

Icing Tips

Even if you make an effort to use healthy ingredients for your cookie dough, you can still ruin it all with your choice of icing. Don’t overdo it with powdered sugar or opt for healthier alternatives, and avoid using unnecessary toppings, such as sprinkles.

]]> The holiday season is upon us, and it’s bringing many irresistible treats along. Celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas in their full glory usually means gaining a couple of pounds, but you can try to stay fit without abstaining from gingerbread cookies and pumpkin pies.

Smaller Portions

Moderation is key when it comes to containing a healthy weight, and this rule doesn’t change around the holidays. Feel free to enjoy delicious Christmas cookies, but stick to smaller portions.

Special Occasions

Some of the popular holiday treats, such as egg nog or pumpkin spice drinks, are so high in sugar content that it’s not recommended to consume them on a regular basis. There’s nothing wrong with drinking them every once in awhile, but you’ll wreck your health goals by doing it every day.

Staying Active

Don’t let the bad weather stop you from working out, since you can always do it at home or at a local gym. Staying active is a great way to burn all those extra calories, and to enjoy your favorite holiday treats without feeling guilty.
