Thanksgiving Means Light & Healthy Appetizers

September 18, 2010 By Cindy Silver

Radishes
Radishes are a crunchy & tasty appetizer!

Tasty Meal Starters

Appetizers are a fun start to any holiday meal. Tasty and light are the best choices because they whet the appetite without going overboard in calories that fill you up. The simplest appetizer is a colorful, crunchy and fresh platter of veggies or fruits that satisfies everyone’s hunger as the turkey finishes cooking.

Dip Away!

Kids of all ages love to dip and opting for easy and homemade dips is a smart strategy. This is because dips that are pre-made typically are fatty and loaded down with calories. Here is a cucumber-yogurt dip, a guacamole dip and a creamy herb dip. Try them for a ton of flavor and healthier ingredients.

Enjoy Thanksgiving!

Whatever your tradition, be sure to take time, slow down and savor the flavors of your meal plate at Thanksgiving. In case you’re wondering, there are advantages to eating more slowly – at a holiday meal and everyday.
