Staying fit during the holidays doesn’t have to involve depriving yourself of the flavors you love. Here are healthier versions of the classics for a “Nice” holiday body.

1) Nog—while traditional eggnog is loaded with animal fat and cholesterol, there’s a modern nog option! So Delicious coconut nog is cholesterol free, and tastes as good as or better than the original. It contains good fat from the coconut and has an incredibly creamy texture. Other dairy-free nog options include those based on rice milk or soy milk. Be sure to read ALL the ingredients on the label and avoid brands that include carrageenan, an unnecessary additive. Every nog variety does have sugar, so enjoy in moderation.

2) Nutella—while chocolate does contain antioxidants, it’s important to choose good quality chocolate. That means organic, free trade. Because dairy triggers inflammation, dark chocolate is a better choice. If you want to cut down on dairy but miss the taste and texture of “nutella” (hazelnut chocolate spread), try Jem brand (http://jemraw.com/) or Rawtella (http://oneluckyduck.com/products/rawtella)

3) Navel oranges—during cold and flu season, it’s extra important to eat fruit to get antioxidants and stay hydrated. Citrus fruits are always a great source of Vitamin C, but it’s especially nice to eat them in season. Satsuma oranges and ruby red grapefruits are fantastic as well.

4) Nut butters—looking for a high protein breakfast? Try an apple or slice of whole grain toast topped with a raw nut butter. While organic peanut butter is protein packed, you can also try almond butter, hazelnut butter, brazil nut butter, and more.

5) Noodles—although many people are afraid of carbs, whole grain pastas can actually be a GOOD part of your holiday menu. Because they’re high in fiber they help fill you up so you crave less sugar. Get creative and think beyond whole wheat noodles. Spelt, kamut, and buckwheat make delicious whole grain pastas. If you or a family member is gluten-free, try Jovial brand pasta (made from brown rice), or TruRoots pasta (made from a variety of high protein sprouted grains).

6) Nutmeg—this spice is one of the world’s highest antioxidant foods. Add it to baked goods whenever possible.
