🌼 Swedish Midsummer – a time for celebration, tradition… and lots of food!

Tables are filled with traditional favourites like herring, new potatoes, sour cream, eggs, and of course… strawberry cake!

But if you’re working on weight management or simply want to maintain healthy habits during festive seasons, it can be helpful to plan ahead — and to use your portion tool as a guide!

👉 Here are a few tips from Mealsizer for a joyful and balanced Midsummer:

🍽 Bring out your Mealsizer – even at festive meals!
It helps you stay in control of portion sizes without giving up the foods you love. ✨ Just remember: fill the portions to the rim – not above!

🥦 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁):
Fill it with fresh asparagus, salad, radishes, tomatoes or grilled vegetables.

🥔 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲:
Perfect for fresh potatoes, slice of bread, or a piece of vegetable pie.

🐟 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲:
Fill it with herring, eggs, salmon, grilled chicken or tofu. Here you you can also put different kinds of sallad mixes, like”Gubbröra” or ”Skagenröra” (mayo or dairy based mixes with herring or seafood).

As long as you vary what you eat in every meal, it’s ok to put some more calorie rich foods in the measures on a festive occasion, as long as it’s not every day, and you limit your intake by for example portioning with Mealsizer. Then it will even out in the end.

🍓 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗲𝘀 – 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱!
Enjoy your favourites, like strawberry cake or sweets – just do it in moderation and choose visely.

💧 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱? Choose still or sparkling water over sweetened or alcoholic drinks, especially in warm weather.

🎯 Healthy habits and festive food can go hand in hand – with a bit of awareness and planning.
