For the most part, there is never a raw vegan dish on the Thanksgiving table. Unless you serve some fresh fruit, vegetable sticks, or a colorful salad, most of the dishes are carb-heavy and filled with butter, dairy, and sugar. That being said, there are many Thanksgiving flavors that you can recreate in a raw vegan way. That’s where these Thanksgiving lettuce cups come into play. They are great for anyone who happens to be dieting or cleansing over the holiday weekend.

Although you can easily create raw soups, sauces, or slaws, sometimes it’s better to go one notch above, or a few notches in the case of this recipe. Normally, people spend the entirety of Thanksgiving Day preparing copious amounts of food. Scale back the quantity and focus on quality with these homemade lettuce cups. Within a crisp romaine lettuce leaf, you’ll find a “meaty” creation that simulates the flavor of turkey. Mixed with a sweet and tangy cranberry relish, you’ll be wondering if this is in fact a raw vegan dish.

You can enjoy these lettuce cups for lunch or dinner. They fill you up and provide you with healthy fats, fiber, protein, and a diverse mix of antioxidants. As long as you have a trusty food processor, you’ll be able to whip up this recipe in not time. Please let us know if you made this recipe in the comments below.

For the majority of Americans, it’s very difficult to eat healthy during the fall. Between pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween candy, and the inevitable Thanksgiving feast, people aren’t necessarily prioritizing salads or smoothies. While eating green salads, chia pudding, zoodles, and more may not be in the cards, starting the day with a green smoothie is very attainable.

To get in the fall spirit, this smoothie is appropriately titled “Green Monster Smoothie.” Why does it have the name it has? Well, the ingredients are ingredient titans, monsters if you will. The nutritional profile is incredibly diverse. The kale supplies the body with dietary fiber, magnesium, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and K. Strawberries enhance the antioxidant content of this smoothie and offer a high dose of vitamin C, which boosts immune function. Bananas are excellent sources of potassium and complex carbohydrates, and they help to thicken smoothies.

For the average person, the “questionable” ingredient is the cucumber. Aren’t cucumbers meant for salads? Yes, but they go great in homemade juices and smoothies as well. Cucumbers are naturally rich in water, helping to hydrate the body. Additionally, cucumbers contain a lot of potassium and vitamins A & K. Plus, they are quite refreshing. See for yourself when you drink this smoothie. We can’t promise anything, but you may feel an incredible burst of energy after drinking it.
