Thriving During A Raw Food Thanksgiving

Eat lots of healthy fruit before and during social gatherings.

A Raw Food Thanksgiving Is Your Time To Shine

Don't go into your social gatherings on the defensive. Remember, what you're doing is brave, interesting, and joyful, so show it.

Be happy, have a smile on your face, and don't get dragged into arguments about the morality of killing turkeys.

You don't need anyone's approval, so just be yourself.

After years of raw food holidays, my family is pretty used to my eating habits, and typically enjoys sampling my recipes.


I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes to my food - give me enough fruit and a nice salad with a good dressing and I'm all set.

But if there was ever a day to show off in the kitchen, it's Thanksgiving.

Make something that not only delights you, but also entices everyone else at your social event.

Personally, my signature raw Thanksgiving and Christmas dish is my RawPersimmon-Date-Banana Pie, which is to die for.

It's pretty hard to feel deprived after eating one of these pies, but it's completely healthy and free of salt, toxins, and other undesirable elements.

My second course typically changes from year to year. Some years buy an entire box of zucchini squash (Italian Squash) to spiralize into a massive raw pasta dish. I'm talking about a huge, gut-busting feast here.

I usually prepare several sauces to go with this dish, such as my raw Italian Tomato Sauce Recipe from Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces.

It simply doesn't make sense to eat a high-fat diet, but if there was ever a time to indulge, it would be Thanksgiving.

I often eat more calories than I strictly need during the holiday, and my fat often inches past the 10 percent of calories mark, but that's ok. Your fat percentage really only matters when averaged out over the course of months. A single day doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of health.

Thanksgiving should be a time of feasting and enjoyment, so don't worry too much if you're eating a bit too much fat.
