Looking for a last minute turkey for Thanksgiving? 🦃 ⁠
.⁠
Your whole crowd will be 'grapeful' for this fun & festive Fruit Turkey with Cinnamon Yogurt Dip! 😊 ⁠
.⁠
Here's how to make it:⁠
1 pear, cored and halved lengthwise⁠
40 grapes, halved⁠
2 bananas, sliced⁠
1/4 cup pomegranate arils⁠
1 small carrot, cut into 4 legs and 2 beaks⁠
4 black sesame seeds⁠
1 cup flavored Greek yogurt of your choice (such as lemon, vanilla, or honey)⁠
1 dash cinnamon⁠
⁠
Make the turkey “bodies”: Place each pear half, sliced side down, on its own large plate. Make the “feathers”: Arrange the grape halves, sliced side down, in 3 rows outward from each pear body in a half moon shape. Create a row of pomegranate arils between a row of grapes. Top the rows of grapes with banana slices to create the look of the tops of the feathers. Make the “eyes” and “beak”: Place two black sesame seeds on each pear body to make the eyes and place a small triangle carrot piece on each pear body to make the beaks. Make the “feet”: Place two carrot pieces cut into the shape of stick legs with feet under each pear body. Serve with your favorite flavored Greek yogurt and a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.⁠

Have you ever made a galette? 🥧 ⁠
.⁠
If not, they're worth a try! A galette is an open-faced, freeform-style pie or pastry. It can be sweet or savory, but can you guess my favorite kind? ❤️ ⁠
.⁠
LOVE a sweet galette, such as this apricot and blueberry 🫐 galette! Here are some of my favorite tips for galettes & baking in general:⁠
.⁠
🌟 Galettes can be a lighter option that traditional pie since it only includes one sheet of crust instead of two. You can also serve with a dollop of chilled Greek yogurt instead of ice cream for extra protein.⁠
🌟 You can swap out half the oil in baked goods like breads and cakes for applesauce or fruit purees for a lower calorie option.⁠
🌟 Go fruit forward! Fill your baked goods or desserts with more fruit than pastry for extra nutrients, sweetness, and color.⁠

(AD) Have trouble falling & staying asleep? 😴 I’m excited to partner with my friends @naturemadevitamins to share my top 5 things to include in your diet to help get more zzz’s⁠
.⁠
🌰 Almonds - Almonds are a natural source of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep and wake cycle. Try a handful for a nighttime snack.⁠
🥣 Oats – This whole grain contains nutrients like magnesium that help the body relax. They’re also natural sources of dietary fiber and essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health. Try making healthy oatmeal cookies or snack bites to enjoy after dinner.⁠
🥝 Kiwi – This fruit provides vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K, which are nutrients that support healthy mood and sleep. Pair your almonds with fresh slices of kiwi.⁠
🐟 Salmon - Fatty fish, like salmon, provide essential omega-3 fatty acids, as well as vitamin D, which also support healthy mood and sleep. Try including salmon or other fatty fish for dinner 2 nights per week.⁠
💊 Supplements - Including sleep support supplements like Nature Made’s melatonin as part of your nighttime routine can give you the support you need to help you fall asleep faster, and get a more restful night’s sleep.⁠†⁠
.⁠
Which of these would you try first? ⁠

#AD⁠ Do you know how to add a nutrition boost to your holiday favorites? ❤️⁠
⁠.⁠
Think avocados! 🥑 Swap in avocados for a creaminess in your favorite Thanksgiving recipes. Fresh avocados are heart-healthy and provide naturally good fats. Here's how you can use them in your favorite recipes:⁠
🥣 Dips and Spreads - ⁠Swap out the traditional sour cream or mayonnaise for mashed avocado⁠
🎂 Cakes and Cookies - ⁠Use mashed avocado in place of butter or shortening in your favorite baked goods.⁠
🥗 Salad Dressing - ⁠Whip up a creamy dressing by using ripe avocado instead of mayonnaise or oils.⁠
🥔 Mashed Potatoes - ⁠Swap out the traditional butter & cream for avocado in this classic holiday side.⁠
🍞 Stuffing - You can even use mashed avocado in stuffing to give it richer and creamy mouthfeel. ⁠
🍸 Cocktails & Mocktails - Make a festive cocktail by blending with avocado instead of heavy cream or egg yolks for a creamy texture.⁠
