"My Holiday Food Philosophy: Keep it clean Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are fair game: Indulge!

Snacks: I try to stick to plant-based proteins, such as raw, unsalted almonds from Trader Joe's. Almost impossible to overindulge because they're so filling. Perfect to nosh on right before that holiday fete where you know a cheese plate will try to ambush you.

Hemp milk from Living Harvest: Hemp milk is one of the only nondairy milks with Omega-3s, which I'm told are important. If you heat the hemp milk and add a dash of cinnamon (good for your digestive fire, according to Ayurveda), it's a bit like a chai latte.

Carrot sticks and Sabra roasted red pepper hummus with a dash of Sriracha. I put Sriracha in just about everything. That extra kick of spice is good for digestion and adds a little rosiness to your cheeks!

Really, the best philosophy (I think) is to just lighten up a bit...it's the holidays, man. Most of us at no other point during the calendar year would ever consider polishing off a whole pecan pie, with a fork, standing in front of the open fridge, at 2 a.m. 'Tis the season...for whole pies and a wardrobe of oversized sweaters."
