About recipe

For most of us, we put aside our healthy eating habits on Thanksgiving to indulge is hearty comfort foods like turkey, mashed potatoes, and of course, pie!

For our critically ill clients, our nutrition and kitchen teams strive to provide comforting, familiar dishes that still fit within our clients’ individual nutritional and medical needs.

This dessert recipe is diabetic-friendly and dairy-free and will be found in our clients’ meal bags this Thanksgiving. From our kitchen to yours – enjoy!
