We’ve reached the time of year when every weekend is packed with parties. Between Christmas and New Year’s, your social calendar is packed. So it’s time to have a few easy, low-carb, go-to appetizer recipes up your sleeve. You want nice things to bring to parties or serve to guests that are easy and delicious.
Today, we’re sharing four great appetizers perfect for holiday parties that you can enjoy without worrying about your blood sugar or health goals!
This is less of a recipe and more instructions on constructing an adorable snack. These will look cute on any buffet table and are sure to get comments. They add a touch of whimsy to the party with just three ingredients. If you want to be fancy, you could do a drizzle of low-carb balsamic dressing on the cucumber in a swirl like Christmas tree lights, but that is wholly optional. A serving has 62 calories, 1.6 grams of carbs, 0.3 grams of fiber and 4.8 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
These deviled eggs are pretty. They are also pretty easy! Deviled eggs always please a crowd. But the mayo in them isn’t always the healthiest food on the buffet table, and it’s hard to eat just one. That’s why these healthy devils replace the mayo with avocado. That gives them a festive green hue, delicious flavor and a dose of healthy fat. They are a fusion of a classic deviled egg and guacamole, and no one can complain about that! A serving has 66 calories, two grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and five grams of fat. Get the recipe.
You might wonder why we have a cheese ball on the list. Generally speaking, cheese balls aren’t high in carbs. But they can be pretty ruinous for your healthy diet! We want to give you a healthier option to enjoy this December. This one can be enjoyed without considering where you’ll have to cut back on other parts of your meal. It’s higher in protein and lower in fat than most cheese balls because it uses white beans as an ingredient. It keeps the classic flavor and texture; no one has to know it’s better for them! A serving has 70 calories, four grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and five grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Everyone loves loaded potato skins. But the carbs are too high for many people to handle. Even if you scoop them out, they are still potato-based. Instead, skip over all that and make delicious crispy cauliflower slices topped with all the classic fillings of a loaded potato skin. You’ll get the flavors on a solid base without all the carbs that will throw off your blood sugar! A serving has 90 calories, four grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and seven grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope these recipes serve you well at all your parties this season and in many holiday seasons to come!
