‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY (AND HEALTHY)

The Holidays are tricky. It isn’t generally a time when we count calories or opt for low-fat treats, making it easy to overindulge. At this year’s festive spread, make sure it’s all about balance and remember to offer premium quality meats alongside your turkey, so there’s something to suit all palates

Festive gatherings don’t have to be an overindulgent affair if you make the right choices. We know, it’s hard to turn away shortbread, decadent savoury pies, and all the delectable sweet treats, but it’s important to maintain the right balance. If you are hosting friends and family members this season, make sure to serve guilt-free nibbles, try and use low-fat ingredients when cooking, and embrace salads and roasted vegetables as part of your meal spread. Keep in mind, not everyone’s a fan of the flavour and texture of roast turkey. Besides this celebration centrepiece, include nutritious meat options for people to choose from.

Grass-fed red meat is an excellent source of highly digestible protein and makes for a great addition to your feast. It’s not only rich in iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins A, D, B and B12 but also contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids and a healthy omega 3 to 6 ratio. The antioxidantrich meat also contains Vitamin E, known to protect cell health, strengthen your immune system and assist in fighting infections.

Another reason grass-fed meat is the perfect add on, is because current health and diet trends such as Keto and Paleo advocate eating only grass-fed red meat as a more nutrient-dense and natural protein source. The ideal meat choice for guests looking to stay on the healthy eating bandwagon, without compromising on flavour.

Not sure where to begin your search for eco-friendly grass-fed meat? Look for Silver Fern Farms on your next grocery trip. All their products are minimally processed with no added growth hormones or antibiotics. Animals are raised in a natural, ethical and sustainable manner, making it an eco-friendly preference for your guests too.

The Silver Fern Farms range features quality beef and lamb cuts that are lean, trimmed, boneless and expertly vacuum-packed to lock in flavour and retain freshness. Take your pick from steaks, medallions, loin fillets, rump and stir-fry options for lamb. If you’re hosting a Christmas or New Year’s Day BBQ, fire up the grill and cook tender beef eye fillet steaks, medallions or flat-iron steaks. The assortment also includes a juicy beef brisket with spice rub and ready stir-fry strips for quick, delicious meals on Boxing Day.
