Cinnamon
This favorite holiday spice not only makes things taste like Christmas, but it may also lower blood sugar and aid in bacterial infections. Sprinkle a little on your sweet potatoes. I enjoy some cinnamon on bread and in hot chocolate. Give it a try this year.
Green Peas
Like broccoli, spinach and green beans, green peas are fat free. They're also high in vitamin K and fiber.
Green Beans
They are high in fiber and vitamins C and K. Green beans are also low in calories and are fat-free.
Spinach
C'mom Popeye, a little spinach ain't gonna hurt ya. Spinach is low in calories, fat-free, and is packed with vitamins A and K along with fiber.
Broccoli
This could be the perfect food. Broccoli is not only low in calories and fat-free, but it's also high in vitamins A and C.
Dark Chocolate
You know you want it. This feel good food is high in antioxidants.
Red Wine
For those 21 and older, red wine is fat-free and high in heart-healthy antioxidants, but moderation is the key. Drink no more than one or two glasses per day.
Sweet Potatoes
This favorite holiday vegetable is fat-free, cholesterol free, high in fiber and high in vitamins A and C.
Cranberries
This favorite holiday fruit is relatively low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol free, high in fiber and high in vitamins A and C. Which do you like better, whole cranberries or jellied? If you prefer jellied, expect added sugars.
White Turkey Meat
Grab another slice of turkey, it's low in fat and high in protein. White turkey meat is also packed with B vitamins.
