Healthy Ingredient Upgrades For Thanksgiving

Make your Thanksgiving meal more nourishing by upgrading your ingredients. Most ingredients in a recipe can easily be swapped for a healthier upgrade without compromising flavor! Take a look at the list below. What healthy upgrades can you make in your cooking/baking? This particular list includes products that you can swap out one for one. Ingredients like almond or coconut flour are great baking options, but are not a one for one swap so they are not on the list. If you want to use those ingredients, I recommend finding a recipe that calls for it.

Healthy Ingredient Upgrades
