Flora’s healthy indulgence this festive season

Christmas is all about indulgence but don’t let this be your green light to overindulge. While December is a celebration of festive cheer, it is also a risky time of the year when it comes to our health and fitness as we abandon our diets and healthy habits for our favourite festive treats, making even our New Year resolutions of eating healthy that much more difficult. 

Flora is strong in its commitment to promote a healthy diet and healthy lifestyles. While Christmas is filled with scrumptious foods to feast on, it’s incredibly fatty. Even though we all need a certain amount of fats to provide us with energy to carry on with our daily lives (and make our food delicious!), not having a proper balance of fats can lead to health complications. Hence, the importance is maintaining the right balance of and right quality of fats rather than avoiding all fats during this season. 

Flora’s versatility in every cuisine and every dish is unmatched and Flora is excited to partner up with a diverse range of local businesses that cover every aspect of your festive indulgence this year. A serving of 20g of Flora gives 33% of the daily requirement of Vitamins A, D and E. Flora predominantly made with sunflower and canola oils which are packed with Omega 3 and 6, which maintain blood cholesterol levels in our body which is very important for heart health.

So how is Flora making your festive season fun and delicious but healthy? Flora has partnered up with local businesses who have a strong social-media presence and a growing clientele and are eager to serve their customers with a healthy dose of festive cheer with healthy Flora inspired indulgences. Joining Flora this Christmas is Simply Delicious by Salo, The Parata by Arabian Knights, The Olive Mediterranean, Nutri Bar and Platter Parties. 

It’s not a Christmas celebration without Breudher and Simply Delicious by Salo, a home-based caterer who’s Breudher has been dubbed a ‘slice of heaven’, will substitute its high butter content with Flora to whip up the perfect Breudher packed with dried fruits and spices to offer a healthy nibble that’s made healthier with Flora.
