Thanksgiving is often the holiday when people indulge to the point of stuffing themselves. However, it doesn’t have to be. There’s plenty of ways to enjoy yourself without loading up with empty calories, especially if you shop at a grocery store like Sprouts known for relatively healthy, high-quality products.
Rather than waiting until the last minute and leaving yourself open to impulsively buying foods that look delicious but aren’t great for your wellbeing, consider stocking up on these Sprouts Thanksgiving items likely to align better with many people’s health and nutritional preferences:
Kevin’s Natural Foods Mashed Sweet Potatoes
- Price: $6.99
Mashed potatoes can be delicious, but are often swimming in butter and other additions that might not be great for your waistline. Meanwhile, sweet potatoes are often dressed up for Thanksgiving with marshmallows or other sweet additions like maple syrup.
Instead, ditch both for mashed sweet potatoes from Kevin’s Natural Foods. They just have one gram of added sugar, five grams of fiber and are certified paleo-friendly. One package has three servings, so you may need to stock up on a few.
Hero Bread Hawaiian Rolls
- Price: $14.99
They don’t come cheap, but if you’re looking for a more nutritious type of roll to serve with your Thanksgiving meal, consider a 12-pack of Hero Bread Hawaiian rolls. These have no added sugar (just monk fruit extract for some sweetness), and there’s four grams of protein in each 60-calorie roll thanks to additions like wheat protein and fava bean protein.
Sprouts Whole Cranberries (Frozen)
- Price: $2.49
This 12-oz. bag of frozen whole cranberries can come in handy if you want to make your own cranberry sauce without as much added sugar as canned. While you’ll still likely want to sweeten these up a bit, you can control how much sugar you add or use an alternative sweetener like chopped dates and applesauce for a unique, fruit-forward sauce or side dish.
Goodles Cheddy Mac
- Price: $3.99
Mac and cheese is another staple on many families’ Thanksgiving tables, but it’s usually not the healthiest option. However, better-for-you brand Goodles has some delicious mac and cheese options, including this cheddy mac flavor that’s currently 11% off its original $4.49 price at Sprouts. Goodles stands out for being a high-protein option, such as from the use of chickpea and wheat proteins, with 14 grams per serving for the dry mix (not including any milk you add).
Also, it contains nutrients extracted from a wide range of fruits and vegetables such as spinach, kale and pumpkin. However, it tastes like classic mac and cheese — not a salad. One box has 2.5 servings.
Evergreen Frozen Waffles Pumpkin Spice Pie Mini Waffles
- Price: $4.99
It’s hard to avoid sweets at Thanksgiving, but if you want to bite into something that has a bit more substance, consider making a dessert from these Evergreen pumpkin spice pie mini waffles. They’re currently 38% off the regular $7.99 price, and they’re made with ingredients like whole wheat flour, pumpkin, whole eggs and a fruit and veggie powder blend, such as from apples and carrots, giving you a nutritional boost. This pack of nine mini waffles has three servings.
As a bonus, if you want to dress these waffles up into more of a dessert, you could add a scoop of better-for-you ice cream, like this pint of Fronen Madagascar vanilla ($6.99, on sale from $7.49) that’s dairy-free and made from just four ingredients. While it does have 12 grams of added sugar, that comes from honey, and the only other ingredients are coconut cream, water and vanilla extract. So, those who prefer natural sugars and limited ingredients might want a dollop of this dessert to round out their Thanksgiving meal.
