The holidays are a time of traditions, connection, and celebration—but for many, they’re also synonymous with sugar overload. The average American consumes about 22 teaspoons of added sugar per day during the holiday season. From festive cookies and candies to indulgent feasts, it can feel almost impossible to stay on track with your health goals. This staggering amount not only exhausts energy levels but can also leave us feeling unwell as the new year begins.【1】【2】.
Many of us want to enjoy the season’s treats but dread the toll they take on our health and energy. At Aubergine, we’re challenging the status quo: What if you could fully enjoy the holidays and still feel your best when January begins?
Breaking Free from the Sugar Cycle
For many, holiday celebrations revolve around treats packed with sugar and processed ingredients. While these can be delicious in the moment, they often leave us feeling sluggish, bloated, or even unwell later. The highs and lows of sugar can drain our energy and cloud the clarity we need to fully enjoy the season’s magic. Excessive consumption triggers dramatic blood sugar fluctuations, causing spikes followed by energy-draining crashes, which can lead to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating—not exactly ideal for holiday festivities.

By breaking free from this cycle, you can enjoy the season without compromising your energy or health.
Why does this matter? Because your body deserves to feel its best—year-round. Fueling yourself with nourishing foods isn’t just a New Year’s resolution; it’s a way to empower yourself to be present and energized, even during the most indulgent time of the year.
Redefining Holiday Traditions
At Aubergine, we believe it’s time to redefine holiday traditions—ones that focus on nourishment, joy, and connection. Let’s break away from traditions that leave us feeling less than our best and create new ones that prioritize connection, joy, and vitality. The good news? This doesn’t mean sacrificing the flavors and experiences you love.
Our approach centers on nutrient-rich ingredients that nourish your body. From decadent baked goods made with natural sweeteners to balanced, flavorful dishes, we offer ways to celebrate the season that align with your health goals.
Why This Matters for You
Nourishing foods unlock physical energy, mental clarity, and emotional well-being, empowering us to fully engage with loved ones. Research shows nutrient-rich, whole foods actively boost energy levels, sharpen mental clarity, and elevate overall well-being.【1】 Instead of feeling weighed down by holiday indulgences, imagine starting the new year refreshed, energized, and empowered.
The freedom to choose foods that support your body—even during celebrations—isn’t just about discipline; it’s about self-care and living in alignment with your values.
A New Tradition Starts Here
This holiday season, Aubergine invites you to join us in celebrating with purpose. Let’s embrace the season with less of what harms and more of what heals. Because the best gift you can give yourself is the freedom to feel your best, no matter the time of year.
Together, we can make this holiday season not just one of celebration but of transformation.
Eat better, celebrate differently, and make this holiday season one of joy, health, and transformation.
