Raw Whole Foods for a Healthy Thanksgiving

RAW WHOLE FOODS FOR A HEALTHY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving in the United States is almost here.  We had our Canada Thanksgiving in October.

You may already be preparing a menu with your family favorites.  Many traditional dishes for turkey day are high-fat, high-sugar, and low in nutrition.  If you make a few subtle changes it can be a great improvement.

While traditional foods can bring a lot of comfort and happiness why not try to mix things up a bit this year by adding a few nutrient rich raw dishes? You can keep Thanksgiving familiar and fun while adding some healthier foods to the menu so that your whole family can reap the benefit of amazing raw foods.

Now might be a GREAT time to pick up the Raw Kids Recipes book and start creating new and healthy family traditions that the whole family will love. This recipe book has many recipes that would be a tasty addition to any Thanksgiving Feast too.

  • Since Persimmons are in season why not make the delicious Persimmon Pudding with a scoop of Raw Ice Cream?
  • The Mini Tomatoes with Pine Nut Cheese or the Mushroom Caps would make great appetizers.
  • The Imitation Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Chickpea Crunchies, and Almond Milk could replace regular mashed potatoes, steamed peas, and Egg Nog.

There are many ways to make this year’s celebration a whole lot healthier by adding delicious and nutritious raw food dishes! All you need to do is pick up the Raw Kids Recipes un-cookbook and make a commitment to better health!

P.S.  Also check out my family’s Healthy Cashew Gravy Recipe Even though it is not raw, it is made with whole foods and is great for vegetarians and vegans.
