Uncategorized Holiday Meals — Reimagined: Cozy, Nutritious Recipes Your Clients Will Love This Season

The holiday season is one of the most challenging times of year for maintaining healthy habits. Between packed schedules, comfort-food cravings, and endless celebrations, many clients feel like staying on track means missing out.

That’s exactly why we created Holiday Meals — Reimagined — a thoughtfully curated collection of 90+ wholesome, flavorful recipes designed to bring comfort, balance, and seasonal joy to your clients’ plates.

Available now in the ABC Trainerize Recipe Collection Library, this holiday-focused drop makes it easier than ever for trainers and nutritionists to support clients through December — without restriction, guilt, or overwhelm.


Why Holiday-Friendly Nutrition Matters

During the holidays, clients don’t need more rules — they need realistic, nourishing options that fit their lives.

When nutrition plans feel too rigid this time of year, adherence drops. But when clients are given meals that feel festive, comforting, and familiar, they’re far more likely to stay consistent.

The Holiday Meals — Reimagined collection helps bridge that gap by:

  • Supporting consistency during a high-risk season
  • Offering comfort-food flavors without excess heaviness
  • Reinforcing that healthy eating can still feel seasonal and satisfying
  • Reducing “all-or-nothing” thinking around holiday meals

For coaches, this means better adherence, better outcomes, and better client confidence.
