Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family gatherings, and, of course, delicious food. But who says you can’t enjoy the feast while keeping it healthy? This year, let’s give a fresh twist to our traditional side dishes!
Creamy Cauliflower Mash
Instead of calorie-heavy mashed potatoes, how about trying a creamy cauliflower mash? It’s low in carbs and packed with nutrients. Simply steam the cauliflower, blend it with a touch of garlic, and add a sprinkle of cheese for flavor. Trust me, no one will miss the spuds!
Sautéed Green Beans
Next up, let’s take a fresh approach to green beans. Instead of the usual green bean casserole, consider sautéing them with olive oil, garlic, and a sprinkle of almond slivers. This not only keeps the dish light but adds a delightful crunch.

Vibrant Roasted Veggies
Don’t forget about those vibrant roasted veggies! Toss some carrots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes in olive oil, season with herbs, and roast them until they’re caramelized. It’s a colorful dish that’s as good for the eyes as it is for the taste buds.
Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Pecans
If you’re feeling adventurous, try a quinoa salad with cranberries and pecans. It’s a great way to incorporate whole grains into your meal, and the sweetness of the cranberries pairs beautifully with the nuttiness of the pecans. Plus, this dish is a perfect fit for any dietary restrictions!
