Merry (almost) Christmas everyone!
Today, I'm rounding up some of my favorite Christmas treats (and a salad) for your culinary enjoyment!
Healthy Cinnamon Rolls - NO Yeast!

Christmas morning equals squealing kids, torn wrapping paper, and warm cinnamon rolls, and this recipe is pretty guilt-free! If you'd like a pumpkin version, check these out.
Healthy Mint Chocolate Bon-Bons (Nut-Free)

Chocolate and mint abound right now, and these creamy treats fit right in with the trend. No nuts or dairy needed!
Healthy Kale Salad
With colors of red and green, this delicious salad brings a nice balance to all the sugar madness.
Healthy Homemade Peppermint Bark
This is probably my favorite Christmas recipe. I love the crisp bite of chocolate and mint, as well as the crunch of the candy cane topping. Heaven!
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Hot Chocolate
The addition of pumpkin gives this creamy cup of cocoa thickness, as well as nutrition. This is my girls' favorite recipe.
Healthy Cut Out Christmas Cookies
These delicious, whole grain cookies are low in sugar, which leaves more room for sweet frosting and sprinkles!
Raw Peppermint Bark Brownies
One of my absolute favorite treats, these delicious bars combine a raw brownie bottom layer with a crisp and minty topping.
No-Bake Chocolate Mint Balls
These low carb treats are a great, no-bake way to get a chocolate mint fix! NO dates!
Spicy Maple Glazed Pecans
These sweet and crunchy pecans are great atop salads, waffles, pancakes, and numerous other meals, and they make a great Christmas gift.
Fudgy Chocolate Mint Cookies
These are a bit more indulgent, on the sugar front, but if you're avoiding gluten and grains, they're a fantastic option!
Homemade Eggnog Without Alcohol
This thick and creamy eggnog is made without any cream or alcohol, and (you guessed it) it's lower in sugar than most recipes. If you prefer a quick, blender version, try this Eggnog for One!
Healthy Graham Crackers
Crispy, sweet graham crackers made with 100% buckwheat flour, coconut oil, and molasses. I went through four batches one week, that's how popular they are!
Gingerbread Snack Cake
This gingerbread cake is perfectly sweet and spiced with flavors of cinnamon and cloves. It's also gluten-free!
Homemade Honey Marshmallows
We love these healthier marshmallows, made with organic gelatin and honey. The kids and I eat them for snacks or put them in our hot chocolate!
Thick and Healthy Hot Chocolate
Speaking of hot chocolate, this is the BEST recipe ever! It's rich and thick, which is my favorite consistency. It can also be made with any milk you tolerate!
Thick and Creamy Hot Vanilla
Not a chocolate fan? Try this delicious hot vanilla! My husband actually prefers this to hot chocolate.
Thick Hot Carob
And one more caffeine-free alternative is this hot carob! Carob is naturally sweet on its own, reducing the need for added sugar. It also boasts some impressive benefits, including being high in fiber and good for the digestion.
Merry Christmas! ♥
