Healthy Holiday Menu: Healthy Hanukkah Recipes
Save the oil for your menorah: these recipes are low-fat and low in calories but high in flavor and tummy-satisfaction.
Perfect Party Salmon Bites. Start your meal off right with a light appetizer. Instead of bagels with lox and cream cheese, these little bites are made with Greek yogurt and cucumber for the same creamy and crunchy texture you love with a fraction of the calories.
Winter Squash Chicken Tzimmes. Instead of using sugar to sweeten up this winter squash and chicken stew, orange juice and cinnamon do the trick. Tzimmes (pronounced “tsim-iss”), a traditionally sweet dish, is usually served during the Jewish New Year and is said to ensure a sweet year to come.
Potato Carrot and Zucchini Kugel. Kugel is a versatile dish made with potatoes or noodles and can be a great side or a sweet dessert. In this version, carrots and zucchini allow you to cut down on the starchy potatoes while adding major vitamins and fiber.
Oven Baked Latkes. It’s not Hanukkah without latkes! Instead of frying these bad boys in oil, bake them in the oven for less fat and calories, but the same amount of crunch. No one will know the difference, scout’s honor.
Homemade Applesauce. Complement your deliciously crispy latkes with this sugarless applesauce. The pear brings a delicious, seasonal twist—and an extra serving of fruit to boot.
Healthy Blueberry Blintzes. By using egg whites instead of whole eggs, with this healthy Hanukkah recipe you get a fluffy texture without the saturated fat. Packed full of omega-3s and with fruit for sweetness, this is actually a pretty well-balanced dessert.
