Mash potatoes using nonfat sour cream. Use cranberry sauce in place of gravy. The non-dairy creamers come in flavors, which can add a little extra boost. If you can. Don't Forget Vegetables and Fruit Actually, pumpkin pie counts here.
Pumpkin pie is wonderful.
It's loaded with beta carotene and vitamin C, says Vitetta. Pumpkin, carrots, and other orange vegetables, like sweet potatoes, contain beta carotene, an orange pigment and powerful antioxidant that researchers say may help protect you from certain cancers, heart disease, and stroke. It is present in leafy green vegetables as well, but the chlorophyll camouflages the orange pigment. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, dried apricots, cantaloupe, winter squash, spinach, and collard greens all pack beta carotene power. A slice of pumpkin or sweet potato pie can provide the same beta carotene as a carrot.
