Celebrate a Healthier Chinese New Year — Without Missing
Out on the Flavour
Chinese New Year is so much more than parades and red envelopes — it’s a vibrant 15-day celebration rooted in family, fortune, and, of course, food!
But if you’re keeping an eye on your macros or managing a condition like diabetes, traditional festive favourites loaded with sugar and refined carbs might not be ideal.
The good news? You don’t have to miss out. With our range of low-calorie, Asian-inspired products, you can enjoy all the flavours of the season without the guilt.
What Is Chinese New Year?
This year, the Chinese New Year begins on January 29. Also known as Lunar New Year, it marks the arrival of spring on the lunar calendar.
Here in New Zealand, more and more people are embracing the celebration with colourful festivals, parades, and events lighting up cities ike Christchurch and Auckland.
Traditional dishes, such as dumplings, spring rolls, and noodles, are rich in symbolism, representing wealth, prosperity, and long life; however, they can also be high in calories.
Whether you’re aiming to lose weight, following a keto lifestyle, or managing diabetes, we’ve got creative, delicious ways to help you enjoy all the festive flavours without compromising your health goals.
