A Grateful Heart: Preparing for a Healthier Thanksgiving 💖

As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on what we're grateful for and to gather with loved ones. This year, why not embrace the spirit of the holiday with a focus on health and wellness? Join us as we explore how to enjoy a delicious, sugar-free Thanksgiving that satisfies both your taste buds and your well-being. 

Gratitude: The Heart of Thanksgiving 🫂

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's the perfect opportunity to reflect on what we're grateful for and find meaningful ways to express that gratitude. Here are some thoughtful ideas to help you celebrate the spirit of thankfulness this holiday season:

1. Share Your Gratitude Around the Table: Start a new family tradition by inviting everyone to share something they’re thankful for before the meal. This simple act can create a warm atmosphere and strengthen connections among loved ones.

2. Write Thank-You Notes: Take a moment to write heartfelt notes to friends, family, or colleagues who have made a difference in your life. Expressing your appreciation in writing adds a personal touch and can brighten someone's day.

3. Create a Gratitude Jar: Encourage family members to jot down things they’re thankful for on slips of paper and place them in a jar. On Thanksgiving Day, read them aloud as a way to celebrate collective gratitude.

4. Cook with Love: Prepare a healthy, sugar-free Thanksgiving meal that not only nourishes the body but also shows appreciation for the guests at your table. Incorporate family recipes or try new dishes that celebrate the season and the people you cherish.

5. Spend Quality Time: Make an effort to disconnect from distractions and truly connect with your loved ones. Engage in meaningful conversations, play games, or take a walk together to enjoy each other’s company.

As you prepare for a healthy, sugar-free Thanksgiving, remember that expressing gratitude is just as important as the food on your plate. This year, let’s celebrate the love and support that enrich our lives. We’d love to hear how you plan to express gratitude this Thanksgiving! Reply to this email with your thoughts or ideas. Your reflections can inspire others in our community to embrace the spirit of thankfulness as well! 📩

Celebrate Thanksgiving with a delightful No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake that's not only easy to make but also a refreshing treat perfect for sharing gratitude with loved ones!

Ingredients:

For the Base:

• 150g (5.3 oz / 1 1/2 cups) mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans)

• 100g (3.5 oz / 7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

• 60g (2.1 oz / 1/3 cup) ZUKR

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 500g (17.6 oz / 2 1/4 cups) cream cheese, softened

• 120g (4.2 oz / 2/3 cup) ZUKR

• 240ml (8 fl oz / 1 cup) heavy whipping cream

• Zest and juice of 2 lemons

• 1 tsp (5ml / 0.17 fl oz) vanilla extract

Prep Time: 20 mins | Approximately 450 calories | Servings: 12 servings

Directions:

1. Prepare the Base: In a smoothie maker or blender, grind the ZUKR into a fine powder and set aside. Then, add the mixed nuts and pulse until they resemble ground biscuits. Transfer to a bowl.

2. Mix Base Ingredients: Combine the ground nuts with the melted butter and powdered ZUKR until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to create an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

3. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered ZUKR until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

4. Add Flavour: Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled nut base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.

6. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices or fresh berries.
