As mentioned in Your Christmas guide to polyphenols, “Life is all about balance. We love the 80/20 rule here at Chuckling Goat. You can pick the healthy choices 80% of the time, and treat yourself with the remaining 20% (cream & marshmallows) 😉
There’s no need to deprive yourself of all the good treats – so be kind to yourself this holiday season!“
