Smart Festive Swaps: Lighten Up Holiday Classics
Love rich holiday favorites but worried about your wellness goals? You don’t have to give up the flavors you love! With a few smart swaps using Herbago products, you can enjoy lighter versions of classic festive treats.
Why Make Festive Swaps?
Traditional holiday recipes are often loaded with sugar, cream, and butter. Swapping in protein powder, plant-based milk, and natural sweeteners helps you cut calories, boost nutrition, and still enjoy every bite.
