Pumpkin pie is an all-time favorite Thanksgiving dessert. And while the pumpkin itself is nutritious (pumpkin is rich in fiber and potassium plus other key nutrients like calcium, iron, vitamin C, and B vitamins), the crust, milk and added sugars in most pumpkin pies can put some extra calories in your totals for the day. So here’s a guilt-free version for you to try and enjoy! TIP: A reduced-fat graham cracker crust may be substituted to lower the amount of fat even more!
