A Slice of Wellness: Better-for-You Pie Recipes

With the Body Balance System as our guide, savoring seasonal flavors while staying on track is easier than ever. Dive into these better-for-you pie recipes that bring the mouthwatering temptation of pies without the waistline compromise.

First: a healthier twist on a classic — a crustless, gluten-free pie that will satisfy that pumpkin craving while helping you stay on track. Packed with pumpkin puree (a natural source of fiber and vitamin A), this recipe brings all the festive feels with none of the added guilt. Here’s how to make it.

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs

• 2 c. pumpkin puree

• 1/2 c. raw honey

• 1 c. almond milk

• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch glass pie plate with coconut oil or your preferred option.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, honey, milk, vanilla and spices until well-blended.

3. Pour the filling into the pie plate and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center sets and a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Let it cool before serving for the best texture and flavor.

No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Pie

For chocolate lovers craving something rich and creamy, this pie delivers all the indulgence but with a wholesome twist. Made with plant-based ingredients, it offers a decadent experience that’s both satisfying and packed with nutrients.

Crust Ingredients:

• 2 c. rolled oats

• ½ c. date paste

• ¼ c. raw cashews

• 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed

• 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract

Filling & Garnish Ingredients:

• 4 c. 1-inch acorn squash cubes (steamed until tender)

• ½ c. unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 c. date paste

• 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract

• 1½ tsp. tahini

• fresh strawberries or raspberries (garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust: In a food processor, combine the oats, date paste and cashews; pulse a couple of times to break down the mixture. Add cocoa powder, flaxseed and vanilla. Process until dough becomes crumbly. (It’s fine if the dough doesn’t completely bind together; do not add water.) Transfer to a 9-inch tart/pie pan with a removable bottom. Press the mixture into the base and up the sides of the pan.

2. Prepare the filling: Steam the squash in a steamer insert set over boiling water, covered, until tender when pierced with a fork (about 20 minutes). Remove from steamer; transfer to a bowl to cool. In a blender, combine the squash, cocoa powder, date paste, vanilla and tahini; blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour the filling into the tart/pie pan. Chill overnight, or at least 4 hours, covered.

4. Garnish with berries just before serving.

5 Tips to Stay Balanced

Here are some tips to keep you feeling your best all season long.

1. Plan Ahead: Look at your holiday schedule and try planning meals with a balanced approach to avoid going overboard. Simple choices like a lighter lunch when you know you’ll indulge a bit later can help keep things even.

2. Stick with Organic, Seasonal Whole Foods: Fall is bursting with delicious, nourishing produce like pumpkin, squash, apples and cranberries — all of which support energy, immunity and digestion. Add roasted veggies, hearty salads and spiced teas, too.

3. Bring a Healthy Twist to Classics: If you’re hosting or attending a fall gathering, bring a “wellness-friendly” option, like the Crustless Pumpkin Pie or a fresh cranberry sauce made with orange zest and a touch of honey instead of sugar.

4. Hydrate: Drink 8 fl. oz. of purified water, 8-10x daily. Providing your body with plenty of purified water helps remove and flush away toxins when you’re burning up fat stores.

5. Curb Cravings and Boost Your Metabolism: Support your holiday season with the Slenderiiz Drops, the perfect duo for controlling your appetite and increasing your metabolism to maximize weight loss efforts.
