She believes that living a healthy lifestyle and eating for your health isn't meant to be complicated -- it's meant to be simple, enjoyable, and judgment-free (with room for dessert).

The holiday season is filled with comfort foods and sweet treats, but it’s also the perfect time to celebrate nature’s most nourishing ingredients. Many of the ingredients we associate with this time of year are actually superfoods in disguise, meaning they’re rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber that support energy, immunity, and digestion.
Here are six delicious holiday superfoods to brighten your table and nourish your body this season.
Vibrant, versatile, and naturally sweet, sweet potatoes are perhaps one of the healthiest holiday foods on the table. They’re rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A—a key nutrient for skin health, immune support, and vision.
Nutritionist Tip: Skip the marshmallows and try roasting sweet potato wedges with olive oil, cinnamon, and a dash of sea salt for a simple, nourishing side dish. Our Sweet Potato Pie is another nice alternative, with limited added sugar and a roasted nut crust. Sweet, nutty, and decadent, it will have your family and guests coming back for another slice.
Fresh cranberries are a classic addition to any holiday table, bringing a bright pop of color and lively tartness that cuts through the richness of traditional festive fare. They’re also great for your body, as they’re packed with antioxidants and polyphenols that help reduce inflammation.
Nutritionist Tip: Instead of canned cranberry sauce, whip up a fresh cranberry relish, or better yet, this Cranberry Fig Jam made with orange juice, vanilla, and a touch of ginger. It’s an extra-special spread that’s bright, tart, and full of immune-boosting nutrients.
Small but mighty, Brussels sprouts are loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber—nutrients that support both gut and immune health. Roasting them brings out a delicious caramelized flavor that pairs beautifully with balsamic vinegar or maple syrup.
Nutritionist Tip: Toss roasted Brussels sprouts with toasted pecans for a satisfying crunch and a dose of healthy fats.
Pomegranate seeds are like edible holiday jewels—bright, juicy, and bursting with antioxidants that promote heart and skin health. They’re also visually stunning, making a gorgeous garnish for any dish.
Nutritionist Tip: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over salads, yogurt, or roasted veggies for a pop of color and natural sweetness.
Walnuts, almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds are true holiday heroes. They’re full of omega-3 fats, plant protein, and minerals like magnesium and zinc—nutrients that support energy, mood, and brain function during the busy season.
Nutritionist Tip: Make a festive mix of spiced nuts for snacking, or sprinkle them over oatmeal or roasted veggies for added texture and flavor.
Yes, chocolate makes the list! Dark chocolate (look for 70% cocoa or higher) contains flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that support heart and brain health. Plus, it delivers a gentle serotonin boost—just what we need during long winter nights.
Nutritionist Tip: Enjoy a few squares of dark chocolate with herbal tea, or melt and drizzle over fruit for a simple, feel-good treat. For something more sumptuous, this recipe for Chocolate Chia Pudding is nutritious enough to eat for breakfast and delicious enough to enjoy for dessert.
The holidays don’t have to be a time of restriction. By celebrating colorful, nourishing foods, you can enjoy both the comfort and the health benefits of seasonal eating.
Remember—wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about balance, enjoyment, and kindness toward your body. So go ahead, fill your plate with color, savor your favorite treats, and let good food fuel your joy, through the holidays and beyond.
Is there such a thing as a perfect smoothie? This sweet medley certainly makes a strong case. With a classic combination of blueberries, banana, and spinach, this superstar smoothie provides a powerful nutrient boost!
Consider this blend the little black dress of nutribullet smoothies: it never goes out of style. To help keep your energy stable throughout the day, aim to balance your meals and snacks with high-quality protein, healthy fats, and fiber-filled carbs – like this combo of Greek yogurt, peanut butter, fruit, and veggies. There’s a reason this one is always on-trend.
Start your day on a high note with this nutritiously cheerful blend of greens, mango, banana, and chia seeds.
