4 Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes

You had us at Spiced Apple Cider Pancakes! Here at Suja HQ we're getting ready for the holiday season, crafting up clever ways to add a little spice to our favorite Thanksgiving dishes. And of course that means adding in a little Spiced Apple Cider. When we're not sipping on our bubbly booch, we have our fall flavors in hand. We’ve taken the best parts of the season and cold-pressed them into something deliciously refreshing. Crisp, organic apples combined with cinnamon and clove that will leave you wishing the leaves fell all year round. Try these healthy Thanksgiving recipes: Apple Cider Pancakes Ingredients 1 Green Apple, peeled and diced 1/2 cup Suja Spiced Apple Cider 1 cup Spelt or Whole Wheat flour 1 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg 1/8 tsp. Ginger 3/4 cup Suja Spiced Apple Cider 1/4 cup Suja Plant Protein Milk 1 tbsp. Chia Seeds, mixed with 3 tbsp cold water 2 tbsp. Melted Coconut Oil 2 tbsp. Pure Maple Syrup Directions
  1. In a saucepan, add the apple and apple cider. Set to low/medium heat and allow the apples to soften and the apple cider drink to condense. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. Set side. This will be a topping for the pancakes once cooked!
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
  3. Grease a griddle and heat on medium. Pour the pancake batter onto the griddle into 3-4 inch pancakes. Cook on both sides about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and cooked all the way through. Top with cooked apples and warm maple syrup.

  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook until they become translucent, and then add in the butternut squash. Cook for an additional minute and then pour in the broth and milk. Sprinkle with a little salt, fresh ground pepper, and nutmeg. Cover the pan and allow the mixture to boil. Cook until the squash is soft.
  3. Transfer everything into a blender and blend until creamy. Pour back into the pan and adjust seasonings if needed.
