    How to spot a healthy canapé

    Pick up a smoked salmon bite for skin-boosting benefits

    RULE No1: Bypass beige

    Beige party food signals something battered, breaded, or pastry-based. Read: full of sat fat and empty calories, and definitely ones to avoid.

    RULE No2: Veg out

    Crudites are full of antioxidants, which help combat the free radicals in alcohol. Perfect for party grazing.

    RULE No3: Pick protein

    Prawns, chicken, lamb or beef skewers are great because they keep sugar levels stable. Eat up but watch out for dips and sauces.

    RULE No4: Dip tip

    Avoid creamy, mayo-style dips and instead opt for salsa for an antioxidant hit, or houmous for a great protein punch. And never double-dip...

    RULE No5: Favour fish

    Smoked salmon is a canapé classic – and will give you a dose of skin-boosting omega-3s. Tuck in, but discard the pastry/biscuit/blini base if you're being really careful.
