It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, which means it’s time to start planning the menu! When December rolls around, so too does a plethora of lip smackingly good sweet treats that go hand in hand with the festive season. Rum balls, fruit mince pies, plum pudding and of course who could forget… white Christmas!
Often, these desserts are laden with sugar and other refined carbohydrates, which can leave you feeling tired and sluggish. While we believe everything should be enjoyed in moderation, we still love finding creative ways we can healthily adapt some of our favourite not so healthy desserts.
Thanks to our ambassador Laura Dundovic for sharing her low-carb HYPOXI approved White Christmas recipe with us! We know this is one we’ll be whipping up on high rotation this silly season!
