Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes to Keep you in your FLO!

Smashed Roots

healthy thanksgiving recipes
  • 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 turnips peeled and cubed
  • 1 celery root peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 T olive oil

Prepare all veggies. In a large pot place 3 inches of water and a steamer basket. Steam all veggies, one root at a time. Smash everything together with the olive oil and salt in your serving bowl and enjoy.Health Benefits:A hormone healthy alternative to mashed potatoes, the vit A in the sweet potatoes will help your liver break down estrogen and other toxins (aka alcohol) so you don’t start to break out or have PMS from hell over the December holidays. The turnips and celery root aside from cutting the glycemic load of your typical mashed potato side dish, also contain high levels of potassium, magnesium and vit B6 which help banish bloat, keep your cycle regular, and diminish symptoms of PMS. All a very good thing when trying to have a drama free holiday ;)

Baked Parsnips and Fennel and Green Beans

  • 2 bulbs fennel sliced into ½ inch slices
healthy thanksgiving recipes green beans
  • 6 parsnips quartered
  • 1 lb of green beans trimmed
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 T olive oil

Prepare all veggies. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring one medium pot of salted water to boil. Drop parsnips into boiling water for 5 min and place in to your casserole/baking dish. In same pot of water, boil green beans for 5 min or until just tender. Finally, blanche the fennel in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Mix everything together with the olive oil and salt in the baking dish and place in to the oven. Let roast for 20 minutes until everything is golden and the green beans have a caramelized look to the skin.Health Benefits:Fennel will help with digestion and bloating, Green beans and parsnips have a tremendous amount of fiber that will keep you full. The whole effect of the dish is a wonderful combination of savory and sweet and will stave off the cravings for too much dessert after the meal.

Energy FLO Smoothie

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
healthy thanksgiving recipes blue berries
  • 1 scoop egg white protein powder (or Vega, Plant Fusion)
  • 1 tsp maca powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 banana or 1/4 avocado

Mix all ingredients in your blender or food processor.Sip and enjoy.Health benefits: Having a proper breakfast before the thanksgiving meal is a huge key in not overdoing it with food later. This combination of adrenal-supportive protein, blood-sugar-balancing cinnamon, naturally energizing and anti-oxidizing raw cacao, plus hormone-balancing maca root will keep you in the celebrating mood.
