🍁 SMOLICIOUS THANKSGIVING: A Healthier Holiday Table

A plant-forward guide from our home to yours.

Thanksgiving has always held a special place in our family — the gathering, the gratitude, and yes… the food.

But over the last few years, our kitchen has changed just as much as our lives have. We’ve stepped into cleaner eating, lighter ingredients, and meals that make us feel energized instead of weighed down.

So we wanted to share the recipes that have become our go-to Thanksgiving staples — dishes that honor the flavors we grew up with while supporting the healthier lifestyle we’re walking in today.

All of the recipes below come straight from our Smolicious Thanksgiving guide — colorful, nourishing, simple, and full of flavor. Whether you’re fully plant-based or just trying to add something fresh to the table this year, these dishes were created to help you celebrate with intention.

🥗 Appetizer: Waldorf Salad

A crisp, creamy, refreshing start to your holiday meal.

Loaded with apples, grapes, nuts, and a simple tahini-maple dressing, this salad adds the perfect pop of color and crunch.
