 Appetizer Bites That Love You Back❣️

 

Easy to Make and Easy to Eat! 

 

Choose From A Variety Of Colors🌈

With the holidays quickly approaching, healthy and tasty appetizer can be fun and quick! Nutritious appetizers don't have to be boring, complicated or time consuming to prepare.

What better time during the holiday season to invite your family and friends to help you with the food prep and they can join in on the fun to make their own too! You can pre cut up the veggies and chop the garnishes before hand and simply set out with spreads and let the creating begin!

This can be a great opportunity to teach those that you love and care about how to prepare their own delicious and healthy bites to eat! In fact this can be a creative activity for the kids and grandchildren too. It's never too early to teach healthy eating and why not make it fun too!

To make it even more creative you can cut out firmer veggies like zucchini, radishes, jicama and bell peppers with your favorite small holiday or favorite cookie cutters.

TWH focuses on eating food that loves you back so we like to use hearts. The kids love to do this and it might even encourage and motivate them to eat their veggies too❤️

 Kids love to cut out shapes for garnishes using small cookie cutters 

  Spread on your favorite spread, add garnishes with a dash of spice and your delicious appetizer masterpiece bites have been created!

About Me

My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
