The Spring Festival is not taboo
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, as the most important meal in the hearts of Chinese, is always full of abundance and joy. And after this big table of food, how can dessert be sloppy as the perfect finale? However, in the pursuit of deliciousness, we are also becoming more and more health-conscious. So, how can you satisfy your taste buds without burdening your body?
Fruits, as a delicacy given to us by nature, are not only colorful and varied, but also rich in vitamins and minerals. Cutting a variety of fresh fruits into appropriately sized pieces and arranging them into plates is as simple as it is beautiful. The natural sweetness of the fruit is perfect for satisfying our dessert needs while helping the body replenish various essential nutrients.
To make the fruit platter even more enticing, you can choose some fruits with different textures and colors, such as strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, pineapples, etc. This not only increases the visual enjoyment, but also allows the taste buds to experience a richer sense of layering.
In addition to fruit platters, low-sugar pastries are also a good choice after Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Traditional pastries tend to be higher in sugar, while low-sugar pastries reduce the amount of sugar used or use natural sweeteners to replace some of the sugar.
When choosing low-sugar pastries, we can look for some pastry brands that use natural ingredients or make your own. For example, use ingredients rich in natural sweetness such as red date puree and pumpkin puree to replace some of the sugar; Or add some nuts, dried fruits, etc. during the production process to increase the taste and nutritional value.
In addition to eating fruit directly, we can also cleverly use the natural sweetness of fruit to make a variety of delicious desserts. For example, after pressing the banana into a puree, add an appropriate amount of milk and honey and stir well to make a banana shake; Or mash strawberries and add them to yogurt to make strawberry yogurt cups.
These fruit-based desserts not only retain the fruit's original nutrients and natural sweetness, but also add texture and flavor changes by pairing them with other ingredients. This satisfies our need for delicious taste while reducing our dependence on sugar.
While fruits and low-sugar pastries are healthy choices, it is important to pay attention to the principle of proper combination and moderation when enjoying them. Although fruits are rich in nutrients, excessive consumption can also lead to excessive sugar intake; Although low-sugar pastries are lower in sugar, they are still high-calorie foods, and excessive consumption is also not good for health.
Therefore, in the selection of desserts after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we should pay attention to the selection and matching of ingredients, and try to choose natural, low-sugar, high-nutrition ingredients to make delicious and healthy desserts. At the same time, it is also necessary to control the intake when enjoying to avoid excessive consumption and burden the body.
In short, the choice of dessert after the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not difficult, as long as we pay attention to the selection and matching of ingredients, and skillfully use the natural sweetness of fruits to make delicious and healthy desserts, we can enjoy the food while staying healthy.
