Healthy Treats for Santa!
In just a few days Santa Claus will make his yearly journey, and the calories are waiting for him along with the sleeping children.
If Mr. C. drinks a glass of whole milk and eats two butter cookies at every American household he visits, he will consume more than seven billion calories and more than three million grams of fat in one night. That’s enough to last him several cold winter’s eves.
So maybe Santa will appreciate a healthy treat instead, like low-fat or skim milk with graham crackers or a peanut butter sandwich. Another tasty option might be yogurt mixed with fruit and cereal.
Don’t forget his reindeer; they’ll like carrots and celery, or chopped broccoli and green and red peppers.
These ideas make great snacks not only for Santa Claus but for his helpers living in your house, too.
