5 Healthier Store-Bought Thanksgiving Substitutes
Made with organic wheat flour and natural flavors from spices like
rosemary, sage, and thyme, Arrowhead Mills Organic Stuffing is your
healthiest option. No matter how much of a healthy eater you are,
Thanksgiving just isn’t the same without the stuffing. Try this brand
and you’ll be more than satisfied.
Arrowhead Mills Organic Stuffing, Savory HerbThis cranberry sauce, or almost any other that
offers cranberry relish instead of sauce, is a
healthier option than traditional sauce. This type
in particular only consists of three ingredients:
whole cranberries, cane sugar, and water. This
makes this brand one of the most natural and
healthy options when compared to most of the
other cranberry sauces found in stores. With
whole natural ingredients and a delicious taste and
consistency, this sauce should be at the top of
your shopping list for this year’s Thanksgiving
dinner.

Instead of baking or buying sugary, chemically-
induced bread, feast your eyes on Ezekiel’s
Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin bread. It’s delicious and
only has a slightly different consistency than other
breads, while keeping its sweet taste. Slice and
toast up a loaf with some butter and jam or brie
and figs and enjoy. This bread is made with no
flour, no refined sugars, and is made up of
complex carbohydrates, making it one of the few
healthy bread products on the market.

Instead of opting for a store-bought pie, why not
make your own! All that’s needed for this dessert
is sugar-free, fat-free butterscotch Jell-O pudding
mix, a can of pumpkin pie filling, plain Greek
yogurt, and a ready-made pie crust. Mix the
ingredients together, scoop it them into the pie
crust, refrigerate for one hour and you’ve got
yourself a healthier, protein-packed, no-bake
pumpkin pie! Oftentimes, “healthier” options when
it comes to desserts are time consuming, taste
wildly different than their less healthy counter-
parts, or cost twice as much. Luckily, this recipe
cheats all of that.

Bolthouse makes its creamy dressings using Greek yogurt, ringing
in the calorie count to only 45 per serving. Compared to other
store-bought creaming dressings that typically have close to 200
calories per serving, this brand is a much healthier option for your
Thanksgiving salad. This brand also makes its dressings low fat
with less than three grams per serving, compare to the about 15
grams often found in other popular ranch dressing brands. The
best part about this dressing is that it still tastes delicious.
