The turkey may take center stage, but you can’t go wrong with these 40 ideas Healthy Thanksgiving Sides to complete the feast! Everything from sweet potatoes to cranberry sauce…I’ve got you covered.
This list of healthy Thanksgiving sides is just what you need for the big feast! I know what you’re thinking. Thanksgiving is only once a year, so why not dive into all of the buttery, cream-laden goodness with abandon? I hear you! But…what if the healthy Thanksgiving side dishes tasted just as good as the not-so-healthy options? And what if you’re craving mashed sweet potatoes or dressed-up green beans on any other day of the year?
And chances that there will be at least someone at your holiday table with dietary restrictions. There are quite a few options for special diets in this list, whether that’s gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, keto, paleo or low fat. Keeping all of the guests happy in one fell swoop!
If you make any of these recipes, I’d love to see them on Instagram! Just use the hashtag #COOKINCANUCK or tag me @cookincanuck in your stories, and I’ll be sure to find your photos.
