Welcome to week one of the Healthy Holiday Recipe Round Up. This was last minute idea, so rather than wait an extra week I decided to just go for! This didn’t give people much time to enter their recipes but I expect we will have a bigger turn out next week. Anyways, I know you won’t be disappointed with this week’s recipes and there is sure to something just right for your Thanksgiving menu.
Our first featured recipe is a Banana-Pineapple Breakfast Shake from Meg’s Country Kitchen. It’s perfect for the busy holiday season or when ever you need to have Breakfast on the Fly! Great for the whole family and especially good for diabetics.
I was impressed with these Thanksgiving recipes: Delicious options for healthy eating from the Mayo clinic, with links to lots of healthier recipes so I just had to share it with you.
