Healthy Holiday Recipes

• Choose Natural Sweeteners
  Opt for honey, maple syrup, or dates instead of refined sugar. These alternatives provide sweetness along with nutrients and reduce blood sugar spikes.

• Focus on Protein-Rich Ingredients
  Incorporate lean proteins or plant-based options to keep meals balanced and satisfying. CorVive’s Protein + Collagen sachets make it easy to add a nutritional boost to your recipes.

• Emphasize Whole Grains and Vegetables
  Replace white flour with almond flour, oat flour, or whole grains. Add extra vegetables to boost fiber and nutrients in every dish.

• Mind Your Portions
  Small, thoughtful portions of rich holiday classics can complement healthier dishes without overwhelming your plate—or your progress.

• Hydrate and Recover
  Pair meals with hydrating, nutrient-rich beverages, like CorVive Hydrate, to support digestion and energy. Electrolytes keep you performing during stressful times.
