Celebrate Friendsgiving with Healthy Cranberry Gyro Pizzas
Nov

2016
Kick off the holiday season, Friendsgiving style! Just like the name implies, Friendsgiving is a fun way to celebrate Thanksgiving with your best pals. (It doesn't have to happen on the 24th. Any date during the season will do!) Here's everything you need for a fantastic Friendsgiving, including a BREAKOUT pizza recipe and a money-saving coupon. Yay!
HG's Top Tips for a Healthy Friendsgiving
Veg out. Don't forget about salads and veggie sides. All that fiber will fill you up, so you'll eat less of the calorie-dense dishes. For an easy side with holiday flair, toss chopped kale with some sweetened dried cranberries, and marinate overnight in light raspberry vinaigrette. Mmmmm...
Take a trot. Start or end your Friendsgiving day with a group stroll! You'll burn some extra calories and have fun doing it.
Flat is where it's at. A Friendsgiving feast doesn't have to be traditional, so why not serve crowd-friendly pizza?! But skip the deep dish and other heavy crusts. Instead, use Flatout Flatbread as your base! Need some recipe inspiration? Keep reading...
