Former Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels often posts recipes, some I like, some I modify to make them lower in salt and fat. Here are two she posted recently for Thanksgiving that I would tweak a bit to cut the salt and fat in them even further.
The first is for sweet potatoes. I have never particularly liked these, but they are a traditional Thanksgiving dish, so if you like them, try this recipe. Just leave out the salt, which is here at 118 mgs a serving (and who eats just one serving?).
I’d also leave out the butter, perhaps substituting a lower-fat butter alternative, and go easy on the syrup to cut the sugar, which is not listed in the nutrition info.
The second dish is broccoli with onions and pine nuts. I don’t eat nuts so would leave those out and cut some fat in the process. I’d also leave out the salt, of course. With balsamic vinegar involved, who needs salt?
Check my past posts for other low-sodium Thanksgiving sides including my take on broccoli made in a steamer.
