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
- white sugar > organic cane sugar, raw honey or maple syrup
- brown sugar > coconut sugar, maple sugar, maple syrup,
- white/wheat flour > oat flour or your favorite gluten free flour bend
- table salt > Himalayan pink salt
- margarine > ghee, organic butter
- vegetable oil > olive, avocado or coconut oil
