Use these tips to make this holiday fun and festive — with fewer calories.
Here are 10 fun tips for getting through the day without over-the-rainbow PointsPlus™ values.
Everyone loves a parade
Instead of sitting on the sidelines, get involved. Either join a group that's walking or march to your own beat.
Seeing green
Yep, it'll be everywhere, so go with the flow and start your own tradition. Every time someone around you mentions green, tack on an additional push-up or an extra minute of cardio to the next day's workout.
Find the true green
Taking a hike in the spring weather can be an excellent way to see some natural greens. Pack a lunch and hit the trails.
Pass the green tea, please
Besides all of the added health benefits that green tea can provide, drinking this green beverage puts you in your own holiday spirit — a relaxed one.
Eat your greens
Celebrate by eating all the verdant veggies you can get your hands on: spinach, broccoli, green beans, lettuce.
Plan a picnic
Weather permitting, get outside and into the grass to hunt for four-leaf clovers.
Throw a party
Invite friends to your place and require that each bring a healthy dish. With you in control of the food and the drink, it won't take any luck to get you through the holiday.
Get creative with food coloring
Use green food-coloring to make healthy and festive snacks for you or your kids. Low PointsPlus value green milkshakes, anyone?
Make yourself a personal pot of gold
Write your accomplishments on slips of paper and keep them together in a little black pot. One day, that pot of success will make you feel rich.
