Fulfilling its objective as a preeminent consumers’ specialty diet grocery store, Ada’s Natural Market, in Fort Myers, is offering several chef-prepared, plant-based holiday meals beginning this month. Shoppers can order a complete vegan holiday meal to just heat and eat like Ada’s Stuffed Roasted Butternut Squash, a whole butternut squash stuffed with flavorful wild rice, cranberries, walnuts and sage, with a side of their vegan mushroom stuffing and topped with Ada’s Vegan Mushroom Gravy. Make the entire meal vegan with the addition of Ada’s Maple Roasted Beets and Carrots, and Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts. 

Although turkey is a long-held American tradition, an increase in the number of people going plant-based almost guarantees someone at a holiday event will be vegan, and the dishes go beyond sides and are beautiful centerpieces for any festive holiday table. Pick up Ada’s Holiday Guide for a full list of chef-prepared holiday entrees and sides to please both plant-based friends as well as turkey lovers.
