Four Healthier Thanksgiving Desserts

The holidays are just around the corner, and with them are plenty of calorie-rich meals. Perhaps the biggest threat to your diet this Thanksgiving is the dessert table, traditionally filled with rich pecan & pumpkin pies. If you’re looking for ways to save on calories while still indulging, try one of these delicious, healthy Thanksgiving desserts:

Healthy Pumpkin PiePumpkin Pie

By using evaporated milk and egg whites, and with minimal brown sugar, this pumpkin pie from Cooking Light has all the flavor with far less calories than a traditional version. It also has four grams of protein and three grams of fiber per serving, so you won’t feel too bad about going back for a second slice.
