Pumpkin Pie

Nothing says thanksgiving more than pumpkin pie.  It is the epitome of the holidays almost everyones favorite festive treat.  Although, nothing can really compare with a traditional homemade pumpkin pie, I thought I would try to make a healthier alternative.  And, this one comes pretty darn close!  It has the same velvety, creamy pumpkin pie taste without all the sugar and refined flour.   Make it for your thanksgiving dinner and I promise no one will believe that it is raw, gluten-free, and dairy-free.  And, it’s full of nutrient-dense pumpkin and lots of healthy fats.  So, this thanksgiving why not nourish your body AND still indulge in this yummy holiday tradition.  Now, that is really something to be thankful about!
