A Healthy Solution to Holiday Eating

It’s that time of year again; the holidays will be here before you know it. Restaurants are busy, streets are bustling, and the sounds of carols fill the air. After it’s all said and done, you’re left with an ugly sweater that needs to be returned and pants you can’t zip up!

According to an article published by Your Total Health, the number one way to reduce weight gain during the holiday season is portion control. During certain festivities, saying no to a special treat is virtually impossible, especially when everyone else at the dinner table is diving into scrumptious calories. So instead of depriving yourself, why not have your cake and eat it too?

Lyons Magnus is introducing new mini dessert recipes that feed your soul while nourishing your body. Our Fancy, Flavorful & Fortified Mini Desserts are perfect for any restaurant, school, or healthcare operator wanting to add smart, healthy solutions to their menu.

For restaurants or schools looking to provide a rich, yet healthy alternative to their dessert line-up without going over budget, Lyons has the answer. By serving a reduced calorie or low-fat dessert, your customer or student will be able to enjoy a sweet treat without increasing their waistline. Lyons Corporate Chef, Jonathan Davey, has created low fat and calorie controlled options by using cakes that are lower in fat, fresh fruit and Lyons Designer Dessert Sauces and Toppings. With options like our Lemon Raspberry Angel Food Skewer or Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Skewer, the health-conscious won’t feel left out this holiday season.

The same reduced calorie or low fat menu concepts can be used for healthcare operators. On one end of the spectrum, the healthcare industry has to manage the ever increasing overweight population, but on the other end, they need to pay attention to those residents with poor appetites and unintended weight loss. By modifying simple mini desserts like pudding or apple crisp into a layered parfait, the resident ends the meal with a more satisfied feeling that doesn’t break the operator’s budget. Lyons Fancy, Flavorful & Fortified Mini Desserts is the perfect solution for this industry. Just add a little Ready- Care Protein Plus to the pudding in our Cherry Chocolate Shooter and you’re sure to improve meal consumption and offer a little upscale dining at the same time.

This holiday season, give in to your sweet tooth and let go of the guilt with our new mini dessert concepts. With Lyons, you can offer fancy desserts that are flavorful and fortified. Lyons, always in great taste!

Lyons can’t help you return the sweater, but when it comes to staying healthy during the holidays, we’ve got you covered.
