Thanksgiving is a time of year to spend in the kitchen cooking with family, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories instead of worrying about ruining your fitness goals. If you’ve been hitting local Kennedy Fitness & Wellness gym in Gloucester County particularly hard in preparation for the upcoming holiday season, fear not.

We’ve collected three of the internet’s most delicious Thanksgiving recipes that are high in nutrition and won’t undo all the progress you’ve made towards your fitness goals!

 

  • Mini caramel apples. Mini desserts are the perfect way to end a meal because they allow you to get a taste of something sweet without overindulging and stuffing yourself! While a regular caramel apple is 560 calories, these bite-sized caramel apples from PopSugar give you all the flavor of the full-sized treat but only come with 51 calories a piece!

 

  • Pumpkin chia pudding. Everyone loves pulling out the pumpkin pie at the end of Thanksgiving dinner, but not many people like the feeling of being absolutely stuffed when they finish eating. Get the taste of pumpkin in a more healthy package with this pumpkin chia pudding from Wheatless Kitchen that’s simple to make and is chock full of antioxidants to keep you moving!

 

 

This season, don’t let the holidays throw you off the path to your fitness goals. By eating right and finding workouts that you love (like Zumba, spinning or swim lessons in Cherry Hill), you can enjoy all the fun of the season without undoing all of the progress that you’ve made!
