Incorporating plant-based and eco-friendly dishes not only benefits your health but also has a lower environmental impact and supports local artisans. Hara Mihailidou, our founder and CEO at Todelli, shares “Some ideas and tips for staying health-conscious during holiday dinners while supporting sustainable, ethical, and independent British brands:
- Embrace plant-based and organic choices: Opt for plant-based snacks and spreads, such as the pita chips, black olive paste, all-natural chilli jams or nut butters that are high in fibre, low in sugar, vegetarian, and plant-based, ideal for a balanced holiday appetizer spread.
- Consider probiotic and gut-friendly bites and non-alc. drinks: Include canapes with kimchi or sauerkraut that have plenty of prebiotics and probiotics and consider replacing your favourite prosecco or wine with non-alc. wines or a ready-made mocktail
- Add ethical gourmet elements to Your meal: For holiday meals, sauces like Blak Fire, Cornish chillies made in the UK with local ingredients can enhance dishes with a unique flavuor while aligning with sustainable practices. For seasoning, Todelli offers CHIMILOVE’s plant-based chimichurri, which is preservative-free and adds bold flavour without unnecessary additives. These products are a step towards reducing your meal’s environmental impact without sacrificing taste.
- Choose eco-friendly desserts: End the meal with ethical treats like the TABLE bean-to-bar chocolate or a Mada Mada Pistachio praline. Table’s sustainable chocolate is a mindful choice that offers a sweet finish while supporting independent growers and using sustainable packaging. Mada Mada’s pralines are also made with the purest ingredients with added caramel instead of sugar from a wonderful chef-creator.
- Support local artisans: Buying from Todelli’s curated selection means supporting small British businesses, which often employ sustainable, low-impact practices. Many Todelli products, Christmas food & drink gifts or boxes are organic, vegan-friendly, and recyclable, contributing to a lower environmental footprint for holiday meals.
These choices allow you to enjoy a delicious and fulfilling holiday meal while supporting ethical and eco-friendly producers! Enjoy!
