Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is one of the easiest holidays to over-indulge in! Having some healthier, yet delicious items will help your loved ones to have a healthy balanced, turkey dinner this year that wont leave them wishing they had bigger pants. Healthy items do not have to be bland, try to get creative. Your trusty Columbus movers are here to help you with some delicious menu items for healthy Thanksgiving ideas, from our family to yours.
1.Mix some pureed cauliflower in with some regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Add in a little garlic, rosemary and pepper to taste. This will allow you to take up a decent part of the portion with cauliflower. Puree the cauliflower with some of the water you used to boil it. This will give the dish a smooth consistency without having to use too much milk or butter.
2. Roast some vegetables. Roast Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots, and green beans with balsamic, a little honey and olive oil. Season to your liking with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
3. Jazz up a salad. Adding a salad to your spread is one of our favorite healthy thanksgiving ideas. Make it feel seasonal by using leafy greens with candied walnuts, diced apple, bacon, and cranberries. Add whatever else you feel is the most appropriate to please your guests.
4. A spin on a favorite. Choose a dish to switch up this year with a fun flare. Try a new stuffing. Instead of bread crumbs, use quinoa. Mushrooms, and fresh walnuts make a great addition to this stuffing!
