Dietitian’s Dish Tip(s):<\/span>
\nFor an allergen-friendly option, swap almonds with toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds. These provide crunch and heart-healthy fats. If avoiding seeds, you could try crushed freeze-dried berries for color, texture and antioxidants.<\/p>\n

Opt for a lower-sugar cranberry sauce or make your own using fresh cranberries and a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Not sure where to start? Get the bonus recipe for our 5-Ingredient Cranberry Sauce!
