While many elves on the shelf are mischievous with an excessive sweet tooth, and pounding Froot Loops and marshmallows while washing it all down with containers of maple syrup, some elves are trying to look and feel their best by showing off their healthy side. Check out these fit-minded, health-conscious elves working out, eating their veggies, and getting in some self-care to combat the holiday stress. These Elf on the Shelf ideas just might inspire the kiddos to leave Santa a spinach smoothie instead of cookies this Christmas Eve!
