Between relatives visiting and the kids taking a break from school, Thanksgiving can be a demanding time of the year, and this often leads to poor health choices. While we don't want to take all of the fun out of the holiday known for its savory eats, there are some healthy alternatives to traditional side dishes.

1 of 6
Mashed potatoes may be loaded with carbs, but mashed cauliflowers aren't. Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C, K and folate, has fewer calories than a potato, and is lower on the glycemic index. Just like with potatoes, cauliflower is a blank canvas, so feel free to add in garlic, herbs or some of your other favorite ingredients.
