A Healthy but Fun New Year Party? Yes Please!

Dec 30, 2022

As we ring in the New Year, it’s a time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year ahead. A popular way to celebrate this occasion is to host a New Year’s Eve party with friends and family. However, this often involves unhealthy food and drink choices that can derail our health goals.

But fear not, there are plenty of ways to have a fun and healthy New Year party! Here are some ideas to get you started:

  1. Choose healthier appetizers: Instead of serving fried and fatty foods, opt for fresh vegetables with hummus or guacamole, fruit skewers, or baked sweet potato fries. These options are packed with nutrients and won’t leave you feeling weighed down.
  2. Offer mocktails: Alcoholic beverages are often a big part of New Year’s Eve celebrations, but they can be high in calories and dehydrating. Serve up some delicious mocktails made with fresh juices, sparkling water, and herbs. This way, everyone can enjoy a festive drink without the negative health effects.
  3. Plan active party games: Instead of just sitting around, get your guests up and moving with fun party games like charades, karaoke, or a dance contest. You could also set up a mini-gym with exercise equipment like resistance bands or a mini-trampoline for a fun workout.
  4. Plan a healthy potluck: Instead of doing all the cooking yourself, plan a healthy potluck where everyone brings a healthy dish to share. This way, you’ll have a variety of healthy options to choose from and your guests can show off their cooking skills.
  5. Start the New Year with a group workout: Invite your guests to start the New Year off on a healthy note by planning a group workout. You could go for a morning run, take a yoga class, or hit the gym together. This is a great way to bond with your friends and family while also setting a positive tone for the year ahead.

A healthy New Year party is definitely possible with a little planning and creativity. By choosing healthier food and drink options, planning active games, and starting the year off with a group workout, you’ll be well on your way to a happy and healthy New Year!
