    What’s the Better Choice: Favorite Holiday Drinks

    By Eight Hats | Nutrition Tips | Comments are Closed | 22 December, 2010 | 0

    EGG NOG   vs.   Cider
    Christmas is here, along with all the wonderful foods and drinks to go with it!  Holiday foods can be delicious and healthy at the same time; you just have to do your homework first.  Let’s compare 2 holiday favorite drinks, eggnog and apple cider.  Can you guess what the better option is?!  This week when you want to cozy by the fire, reach for a hot glass of apple cider and enjoy!  Apple cider is sweetened from its natural fruit sugars so it contains half the sugar content of eggnog, plus it has about 1/3 of the calories and is fat and cholesterol free!  For a added bonus, use a cinnamon stick as a stirrer to punch up the flavor.  Take a look and compare 8 oz of each drink:
