Healthy Holiday Appetizers Board
It seems like the hustle and bustle of the season has us so busy that cooking for a crowd can be rough. Not only that, but holiday food is usually heavy handed so it is nice to have some healthier options.
Our friends at Made in Nature always make this so easy because they have the best variety of healthy snacks. From dried fruit (who doesn’t love those mangoes right?) to coconut chips and their new figgy and veggie pops, they truly have you covered!
I love that they are always organic, non-gmo and gluten-free. Everything of theirs is plant based and has no sulphur, preservatives or additives. Eating these during the holidays will, in my opinion, help you make healthier food choices but if you need some more ideas for healthy holidays, we’ve got 5 easy tips for staying healthy this holiday season.

So what exactly goes on a healthy holiday appetizers board? There are so many options but these are just a few of my favorites. You can easily put them on a cute wood board or a marble board would work great as well.
- Dried mangos
- Dried figs or apricots
- Dried dates
- Coconut chips
- Made in Nature Figgy Pops
- Made in Nature Nuts over Fruit Supersnacks
- Nuts
- Fresh berries
- Grapes
- Rolled up turkey slices
- Your favorite cheese
Really, the possibilities are endless! So ask yourself, what do I like to munch on and put it on the board. Maybe you have a fruit loving friend who will be enjoying it with you. Add some extra fruit. The point is to get creative and have fun!
