Sweet Potato Toast Bites
After all the holiday meals and treats, I like to lighten things up for New Years Eve celebrations. These sweet potato toast appetizers are easy to make, you can top them with anything you like, and they are a great gluten-free alternative. Sweet potatoes are no longer just for dinner. Sweet potato toast became pretty popular in 2016 and based on how you top them they can make a great breakfast or afternoon snack.
Heirloom Tomato Caprese Skewers
You have most likely seen versions of these skewers before. These are one of my go-to appetizers as they are simple, easy and highlight beautiful tomatoes. For a holiday potluck or New Year’s eve appetizer, these are one of my favorites bites to lighten things up. Tomatoes are a very nutrient-rich food as they are a great source of a phytonutrient called lycopene.

No flour, oil or white sugar needed with these donuts. They are raw, vegan and are can easily be gluten-free by selecting GF rolled oats.
Egg Nog Chia Pudding
This is a fun way to infuse your chia pudding with the flavors of the holidays. Chia pudding makes a great breakfast, afternoon snack, or tasty dessert based on the flavors and liquid you add to them. I’m always amazed at the nutrient density of these tiny seeds. Chia is the highest plant-based source of omega 3, protein and fiber. C
