AIP Ultimate Cheese and Charcuterie Platter

This AIP Ultimate Cheese and Charcuterie Platter from Sophie at A Squirrel in the Kitchen is exactly what I would LOVE to see on the table (and enjoy!) before Thanksgiving dinner.

Using fruit, olives, meats, pickles, hummus, and zucchini cheese (recipe linked), this tray looks absolutely delectable!

She makes other suggestions as well. The sky is the limit!

Whole30 Paleo Snack Board

This Whole30 Paleo Snack Board from Kimbrough Daniels is so fresh and yummy! I made a smaller version of it (pictured) for my family this summer and we loved how easy it was and how there were so many different flavors.

There is also a dairy-free ranch recipe! Yum!

Sweet Potato Hummus

Looking for a hummus to serve with your charcuterie board?

This recipe from Nourish Plate super simple, with chickpeas, sweet potato, tahini, and spices. You could even use pumpkin in place of the sweet potato to give it that extra Thanksgiving flavor!

(Obviously, don’t serve with pita chips to keep it Arbonne-friendly!)

Fennel and Leek Soup with Mushrooms

This soup from Garlic and Zest looks amazing! With fennel, leek, and mushrooms, it’s incredibly healthy and bound to be packed with flavor for the first course of your holiday meal.

Completely vegan, it’s a light starter for what is sure to be a heavy meal! (Save room for that turkey and pie!)

Roasted Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

This recipe from Eating with Heart has me drooling! I love butternut squash, and carrots are naturally sweet, so this soup is sweet and rich without being too filling.

Or, serve this with salad for a December day after your big Thanksgiving meal!

Broccoli Avocado Soup

This recipe from Refresh My Health is packed with all kinds of veggies like bell pepper, broccoli, avocado, and sweet potato. It’s vegan, Whole30, and it’s packed with all kind of fantastic nutrients for our bodies to feel great!

Whether you use this as a Thanksgiving first course or a meal on its own later during the holiday season, you’ll feel great after eating this! Top with pistachios or other nuts to give it a crunch.

Tomato Balsamic Mint Salad with Shallots

This simple salad from What a Girl Eats looks delicious. Even though tomatoes are a summer veggie (fruit, technically) if you can find fresh, ripe tomatoes at a farmer’s market or specialty grocery store, this would be the perfect salad to accompany your 30 Days to Healthy Living holiday meal!

It’s got tomatoes, onion, and some light dressing to make a quick and light pre-meal salad!

Everyday Greens

Plus, there’s a great, lite vinaigrette recipe!

Kale Slaw with Apples, Carrots, and Raisins

This delicious slaw recipe from Making Healthy Choices is a great choice for your Arbonne Thanksgiving (or just for eating any time!). It’s crunchy and nutritious with all kinds of different fruits and veggies.

But it does have vinegar in it, so it’s not strictly Arbonne 30 Days. Use more lemon juice in place of the vinegar and you’re good to go!

Healthy Oven Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

This Oven Roasted Turkey recipe from the Delicious Spoon is my ultimate pick for your Arbonne Thanksgiving main feature!

Alisa walks you through every step, including thawing, brining, seasoning, and cooking, and she doesn’t leave out a single detail. She even explains how to keep the interior of the turkey moist while allowing the skin to get crispy, (which most recipes do by utilizing fat… not this one!).

It only uses 4 tablespoons of olive oil on the whole thing, and the gravy is dairy-free, gluten-free, and not loaded with extra fat and calories. Plus, with all the herbs, it’s bound to be flavorful!

Paleo, Whole30 Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

This turkey recipe from Real Food with Jessica is more traditional by using more fat in the turkey recipe. It uses ghee, which packs a lot of flavor, but if you want to make it completely dairy free, make sure you substitute coconut oil or olive oil. It also uses fresh herbs and sounds juicy and delicious!

Jessica also gives excellent tips about using fresh herbs, how to keep things simple, and how to cut the bird.

There’s also a gravy recipe that goes along with it. Yum!

Easy Dry Brine & Roast Turkey (In Parts)

Looking for a recipe that won’t take as long? Savoring Today has a great dry brine recipe for your turkey!

You want to let it dry-brine for between 1.5 to 2 days, but roasting is a breeze! When you roast your turkey in parts, it doesn’t take nearly as long to cook. This is perfect for a Thanksgiving day when your morning is jam packed and you don’t have time to get the turkey in the oven super early.

Best Damn Vegan Lentil Loaf

I’ll be honest, as a meat eater, I’ve never had a vegan loaf before, but Emese and Nandi from My Pure Plants have sure convinced me that this loaf is the way to go!

It’s easy to make and looks juicy and tender. Just make sure your use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and you’re good to go!

Vegan Thanksgiving Wellington

For those of you not familiar, a Wellington is an English dish that is typically beef wrapped in puff pastry. This is definitely a twist, as it’s a vegan version!

This Wife Cooks uses quinoa and garbanzo beans for this vegan Wellington, but watch out, make sure you use wheat-free breadcrumbs and wheat-free pastry! Worcestershire sauce isn’t technically 30 Days approved either, but at least use Lea & Perrin’s as it’s gluten free.

With a few substitutions, this can be a fantastic Thanksgiving centerpiece for Arbonne’s 30 Days program.

Sweet Potato Unstuffing

This Sweet Potato Unstuffing from the Real Food Dieticians is the perfect non-stuffing or non-dressing! Bread is not allowed on Arbonne’s 30 Days to Healthy Living because of eliminating wheat, but there are ways to get the flavor of stuffing while eating more whole foods!

With veggies, apples, mushrooms, tons of herbs, dried cherries, and pecans, this is packed with flavor!

Cauliflower Cranberry Sage “Stuffing”-sent

This paleo stuffing from Calm Eats is absolutely delicious! Using cauliflower rice, chopped veggies, and lots of herbs, this “stuffing” is moist and packed with flavor. There are tips about the broth, onion, and substituting dried herbs for fresh ones.

The best thing is that if you use premade cauli-rice, you’re only looking at about a 20-30 minute time commitment for this dish!

Rice Stuffing with Jackfruit

This stuffing recipe is both vegan and gluten-free! For those who don’t know, jackfruit is a large fruit from Asia (if you’re allergic to birch pollen, you’ll want to skip this one).

This recipe from AI Made It For You uses canned jackfruit confit (which has been marinated in savory herbs). With the veggies, cranberries, and rice, it looks like a rich and satisfying “unstuffing”!

Sauteed Kale and Brussel Sprouts

Brussel sprouts and kale are two veggies that are packed with nutrients! Some people don’t like brussel sprouts, but I LOVE them!

This recipe for Sauteed Kale and Brussel Sprouts from Optimized Life is incredibly simple. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, the key to this recipe is letting the brussel sprouts brown a little to get some caramelization!

Green Beans with Caramelized Onions

Onions and green beans are the perfect match! This recipe for Green Beans with Caramelized Onions from Clean Living with Kids uses olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and nuts: cashews and almonds.

With onion diced small, garlic, and optional red chile flakes, this recipe is vegan and delicious!

Honey Sriracha Roasted Broccoli

With sriracha, a little bit goes a long way! This broccoli recipe from System of a Brown packs a punch and is balanced with a little sweetness from honey.

But you may want to cut back on the amount of honey, because there’s more than enough in this recipe for your Arbonne 30 Days to Healthy Living journey! I recommend 1-1.5 Tbsp instead of 3. (Save the sweetness for your desserts!)

Ginger Cardamom Spiced Carrots

These carrots are really different and pack a punch of flavor! Savory Spin shares this recipe for carrots with cardamom, ginger, and mustard, among other spices.

The best part is that this veggie recipe doesn’t include any sweetener (natural or not!). Carrots are pretty sweet as they are, and it’s all about the spice in this recipe!

10-Minute Garlic Butter Mushrooms

Here’s another recipe that can save you time! Add this garlic butter mushroom recipe from Sweet Tea & Thyme to your Arbonne Thanksgiving!

It’s quick, easy, and delicious, and Eden has a great trick for your oil & butter and how to maximize the fat you’re using. (Seriously, my mind was blown! I had no idea!)

Instant Pot Mushroom Rice Pilaf

For me, rice isn’t a staple for Thanksgiving, but there are so many great rice recipes with fall flavor!

This Rice Pilaf recipe from Belly Rules the Mind is one such recipe! With mushroom or vegetable bouillon base (instead of beef broth) it’s a vegan recipe and they give some suggestions for adding even more flavor and finishing the dish for fancy serving! Ooo!

Gluten-Free Sausage and Apple Rice

Apples and sausage scream fall! This recipe from Food Meanderings uses dried apples and breakfast sausage to get those fall flavors.

Sausage is a more processed meat, so make sure you visit your local butcher shop, farmer’s market, or natural grocers to find sausage made without nitrates, chemicals, hormones, and all that nasty stuff that we want to avoid while we’re on 30 Days to Healthy Living.

Wild Rice Mushroom Pilaf with Cranberries

Wild rice is much more fibrous than other rice, so make sure you soak your rice or give yourself plenty of time to cook it!

Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole

This Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole from Real Food with Jessica is another fantastic recipe from her site and perfect for your Arbonne Thanksgiving!

It uses coconut oil in place of butter and a small amount of coconut sugar in place of brown sugar. If you really wanted to minimize the extra sugar, you could leave it out of the sweet potato layer altogether and just put it in the pecan crumb topping.

Really, sweet potatoes are pretty sweet as it is!

Browned Butter Sweet Potatoes with Sage

This recipe had me at “browned butter”. Let’s get cooking! This sweet potato recipe from What a Girl Eats is another great alternative to traditional mashed potatoes.

It has sage to give an earthy and autumn flavor to the dish! Save yourself plenty of time… sweet potatoes (yams) can take a long time to cook in the oven!

Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad

Confession, I haven’t made this recipe but I’m SO excited to try it! It’s great if you want to try something different from the traditional Thanksgiving recipes.

This is another wonderful, healthy recipe from Erin Clarke at Well Plated. Quinoa is a grain with a full protein profile, so it’s great for vegans and vegetarians. The recipe does have some sweetener in it, but it’s a natural one, so you can choose to use it (it’s just a small amount) or you can omit it to make it fully 30 Days approved.

Acorn Squash with Maple Almond Butter

Maple Almond Butter sounds a little too decadent for Arbonne’s 30 Days to Healthy Living, but honestly, the maple butter drizzle for these acorn squash is very minimal!

The Cook at Home Mom brings us this recipe for acorn squash, and it looks quite easy! It’s paleo and gluten free, and because the squash is sliced before it’s roasted, it doesn’t take nearly as long in the oven!

Thinking outside the box? Serve this for dessert!
