It’s an untraditional twist on an otherwise traditional pie, and the best part is that since this variety of Sweet Potato improves blood sugar regulation, you are actually doing something good for your body by eating it! Additionally, everyone in the family, allergies included, can enjoy this one because it’s entirely vegan. Recipe can be found here via The Endless Meal. 3. Healthy Pecan Pie While Pecan Pie is typically known for being incredibly high in sugar, this recipe swaps out the icky, refined ingredients for more natural options. Sweetened with dates and maple syrup, this pie provides all of the flavors that everyone loves from a Pecan Pie without any of the intense sugar-crash that comes after a piece.

This Shepherd’s Pie is chock-full of fiber and vegetables, so you don’t even have to waste any space on your plate for your aunt’s wilted salad. And here’s a phrase you probably never thought you’d hear a wellness site say: opt for extra pie instead of stuffing, and save yourself calories later! Recipe can be found here via Veggie Primer. 5. Skinny Pumpkin Pie Could we even make this list without the king of all the Thanksgiving pies, Pumpkin? Nutrient-dense with a low calorie count, the pumpkin provides ample opportunities to add flavor to the pie without compromising your diet. So go for that second slice of turkey AND pie, because this recipe allows flexibility to your meal plan without requiring you to change immediately into sweatpants post-meal. Recipe can be found here via Skinny Taste. Here's to a healthy, happy and tasty Thanksgiving!
