It’s that time of year, the time when you’ll undoubtedly be tempted by this and that from one holiday party to the next. You may not be interested in putting in any extra effort into having a keto Thanksgiving, but kicking yourself out of ketosis for the sake of potato and pie is a bummer, especially if you’re like me and realize a few bites in, that it totally wasn’t worth it.
If you live in the US and are planning to be “good” during Thanksgiving this week, here are some keto thanksgiving recipes I’ve enjoyed in years past and plan to cook up this year. Cauliflower mash is always a hit. With the right amount of butter and garlic, even some of your guests might be fooled!

Berry Red Keto Sangria
If you enjoy wine then it’s not realistic to expect you’ll never drink again just because you’re on keto – especially around the holidays. This recipe is just as good as a traditional sangria, but better because I’ve reduced the sugars by using Pomegranate Berry keto drink mix by Everly. It’s the perfect cocktail for your next keto Thanksgiving.
