As a healthy lifestyle blogger, people expect colourful and delicious food to be on my table at Christmas time. Like many of us, I am usually flat out at this time of year so I opt for the easy but flavoursome side dishes. This is one of my favourites to whip up at Christmas. It offers a wonderful combination of fresh, creamy and earthy flavours and the colours are just perfect for Christmas – it makes a real statement on the table! It’s simple so you’ll still have time to throw it together whilst wrapping those last few presents and hiding any mess in the house before the relative’s arrive too (who else knows that feeling?!) as most of the cooking is ‘set and forget’. Best of all it ticks most boxes for anyone with food intolerances: it’s gluten free, sugar free, low FODMAP and vegan. If you want some more healthy recipe ideas for Christmas or to give yourself some fresh ideas for creating a new healthy lifestyle in the new year, check out all my healthy recipes.
