Thanksgiving is a time for celebrating what we are thankful for, spending time with our family and friends, and of course enjoying a delicious meal. This meal does not have to derail your healthy eating habits, in fact, you can enjoy your Thanksgiving favorites with a few easy tips.

Thanksgiving dessert starts with pie but the alternatives are endless. Just think of all the sweets that feature seasonal flavors, from pumpkin and winter squash to cranberry, fig and all manner of toasty nuts. Chocolate, of course, is a year-round favorite, and perfectly appropriate for an indulgent Thanksgiving finale.
