Plan yourself a healthy Thanksgiving with Medical Weight Loss Clinic

When it’s time to carve the turkey, Medical Weight Loss Clinic has healthy recipe ideas for our patients and their families.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic patients already know the secret to healthy eating starts with one thing – a solid plan. Our patients work directly with our knowledgeable staff to create a healthy personalized program they can follow. Being mindful and prepared is an important part of that.

We can take into account all sorts of challenges – a stressful work schedule, how to curb food cravings and how to cook for yourself and your family. At the heart of it all, our patients learn how best they can plan ahead when attending parties, prepping food after a trip to the grocery store and ensuring there are plenty of meals to put together when they’re in a pinch.

With the holidays upon us, planning ahead for Thanksgiving will ensure anyone – including our patients – reach for healthier food choices. We consider it our job to make that even easier. Our staff is always available to help patients modify or adjust a favorite recipe.

Right here at MWLC.com, patients on our Freedom and FastTrack programs can rely on a special collection of Thanksgiving recipes that include all the fun and flavor of the harvest season – with healthy benefits too. They know they won’t miss out on anything they love about spending Thanksgiving with friends and family. Here are some of the highlights: 

Pick Pumpkin Flavors

Start Thanksgiving morning with Pumpkin Spice Pancake Bites. They include our pancake supplement to ensure you get all the sweet spicy flavor with a boost of protein, too. A few other favorite treats patients might take to a family gathering might include our Pumpkin Roll or Pumpkin Cheesecake Pudding.

Side Dish Stars

Side dishes are a major draw at so many of our Thanksgiving tables. But they don’t have to be the same year after year. Try something new to share, like a lighter side dish of Lemon Roasted Mixed Vegetables or the Medical Weight Loss Clinic take on Green Bean Casserole. Swap out mashed potatoes for Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes and Sour Cream, make your stuffing a healthy new way or give your side dish a little kick thanks to red chili flakes in our Cauliflower and Corn Salad.

A New Take on Old Favorites

Go low-sodium or low sugar for the health of everyone at the table with tips that apply to everything from the turkey to dessert. Love sweet potatoes? So do we. Try them twice-baked or filled with roasted vegetables.

Don’t Skip Dessert

Don’t think that being on a healthy program automatically means skipping dessert, either. Our patients enjoy sweet treats that range from Apple Crisp to Key Lime Pie, Double Chocolate Pomegranate Clusters to Triple Chocolate Fudge S’mores Cake.

Try Turkey Soup

Got leftover turkey after the big day? Try making a healthy new option like California Turkey Soup. It’s full of fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. This one is sure to become a soup season favorite.
