Have a low carb Thanksgiving feast!

Think you need to give up your low carb gains to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast next week?  Nope!  The Carbonaut crew is excited to offer some fun low carb dinner ideas that everyone can enjoy. Monitoring your sugar and carbohydrate intake does not mean you have to miss out.

We’ve compiled the essential components of holiday dinners and low carb meal ideas so you don’t have to…

The Stuffing

This dish gets its own category when it comes to components of the perfect holiday feast. No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without stuffing—it is literally the bread and (vegan) butter of the classic holiday dinner! (Which is why it makes a good main.)

Try our recipe for Simple Low Carb Thanksgiving Stuffing and launch your tastebuds into a new and glorious galaxy of taste.

The Appetizers

Appetizers are a must with holiday dinners. You can’t be expected to smell all the good smells and not want a little pre-dinner nibble! The following low-carb ideas will have your guests orbiting the kitchen, pronto:

• Roasted red pepper and pickled asparagus platter
• Toasted Carbonaut bread, quartered and topped with vegan tzatziki and cucumber slices
• Plant-based bocconcini skewers with grape tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic drizzle
• Olives, pickles, assorted nuts, and pepita seeds
• Baked keto crackers with cashew cheese dip

The Sides (aka: the stars of the show)

Friends: sides make the dinner. You can have the best mains and desserts in the whole universe, but without good sides? Your dinner falls flat earth. Here are some yummy ideas for low carb sides to get excited about:

• Mashed cauliflower with plant-based butter spread, topped with green onion
• Keto cranberry sauce with cinnamon and stevia
• Roasted brussels sprouts with olive oil, chilis, and fresh parsley
• Broccoli salad with almond slivers, red onion, and vegan mayonnaise
• Baked zucchini boats topped with fresh tomatoes, peppers, and herbs
• Low-carb vegan gravy made with almond flour

The Mains

No matter what you have on your table for Thanksgiving, the main dish can be whatever your low carb heart desires. Mains are typically a little heartier than sides, but honestly? The two could be interchangeable.  Make sure to include the low carb stuffing we shared.

The Dessert

The science behind why we still want to eat something sweet after stuffing ourselves with a huge meal may never be known. But we want what we want, right? At least with these low-carb ideas, we know we’re not launching ourselves into a sugar coma:

• Vegan Peach Bread Pudding
• Try our new Brownie Mix or make the best low carb cupcakes ever with our new Carbonaut Baking Mix!

So c’mon—who’s hungry? (And who’s inviting us to their Thanksgiving dinner, because now we’re hungry, too!)
