Holiday meals don’t have to end when the celebration does. 🍽️ Leftovers can be one of the easiest ways to build balanced, nourishing meals while reducing food waste and easing back into routine.
Here are simple, RD-approved ways to repurpose holiday favorites:
🦃 Leftover turkey → soups, grain bowls, enchiladas, or stuffed sweet potatoes for protein-packed meals
🥕 Leftover veggies → frittatas, warm bowls, or blended soups for fiber and micronutrients
🍐 Leftover fruit → oatmeal toppings, chia pudding mix-ins, or smoothies for natural sweetness and nourishment
💡 Dietitian tip: After busy holiday days, focus on adding color, protein, and fiber—not starting over. Leftovers make it easier to support digestion, energy, and consistency with minimal effort.
