New Year, New Resolutions—and New Experiences with StrEATS of Philly Food Tours
It’s that time again—New Year’s resolutions are in full swing! If you’ve indulged in your favorite holiday treats and are now focused on shedding those extra pounds, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: resolutions shouldn’t just be about cutting back—they can also be about adding something meaningful to your life. This year, while you’re watching what you eat, why not add new experiences to your goals?
At StrEATS of Philly Food Tours, we believe food and fun can coexist beautifully with healthy habits. You can enjoy incredible culinary moments while learning how to strike a balance in your daily diet. So, here are a few tips to help you stick to your health goals—and an idea for a unique experience to add to your New Year’s bucket list.
Healthy Snacking Tips to Keep Resolutions on Track
- Snack Smarter: Ditch the baguette for slices of apple, pear, or cucumber. Top with goat cheese, blue cheese, or almond butter, and finish with a dab of cherry jam, fig jam, or a walnut half.
- Go Crunchy with Fennel: Dip fresh fennel slices into balsamic vinaigrette for a refreshing snack that’s full of flavor.
- Upgrade Your Yogurt: Choose Greek yogurt for more protein. Add natural flavors like honey, flaxseed, nuts, dried fruit, or dark chocolate chips—loaded with antioxidants.
Hydration Made Refreshing
- Swap Out Sugary Drinks: Replace one beverage per day with water. Add slices of lemon, orange, cucumber, or ginger for a refreshing twist.
- Juicing Done Right: Try this simple, healthy juice recipe: 1 apple, 1 orange (peeled), 1 banana, and a splash of pomegranate juice.
Eating Habits to Live By
- Stick to smaller portions and eat slowly to savor your food.
- Enjoy three well-balanced meals a day—no skipping!
- Add more nutrient-rich ingredients like fish, chicken, vegetables, nuts, and fruits to your salads.
