Our best efforts to eat healthy often take a hit during the holidays. It doesn’t have to be this way! There are healthy and delicious options! Here are 30 Paleo Christmas Cookie Recipes to keep you on track!
For years without fail, no matter how hard I tried, that ominous 4 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas was my undoing. In spite of my best efforts, I couldn’t manage all the parties, Christmas cookie exchanges, and get-togethers in a healthy way, and the scale would creep up by the time the new year rolled around.
This past year has been so revolutionary for me in my attempts to eat in a healthy way. After doing Whole 30 (you can read about my Whole 30 Journey here), losing the rest of the baby weight and then some (and you can read about that here), and totally changing my lifestyle to Paleo and clean eating, I am determined not to be bested by all the yummy and unhealthy temptations.
My eating philosophy is that there are so many delicious and healthy alternatives to the crap; there is no need to eat healthy on a regular basis. I’m not going to give myself a full-on pass to binge on cookies just because it’s the “holiday season.” It is possible to enjoy the Christmas treats in a healthy way!
I honestly can’t wait to make these cookies. They look ah-mazing – and I’m even going to use one of these recipes for my annual cookie exchange. No harm in sneaking in some healthiness to my friends, too!
Here are the delicious recipes!
