Should you eat pie on plant based Thanksgiving day? Grocery stores are packed and your Instagram feed is probably full of Thanksgiving ideas. And let’s face it, dessert and sides are the best part!

However, if you’re new to whole food plant-based, you may be wondering if it’s ok to have pie on Thanksgiving!

As long as every day is not like Thanksgiving day then enjoy that pie

Enjoy and be grateful for the body you have, whatever condition it’s currently in. Start your day with the big bowl of oats and berries, then enjoy the delicious Thanksgiving sides and pies.

You’ll even find some new traditions. A few years ago we had made way too many pies so we started eating the fruit date nut pie from Engine2 for breakfast. Now it’s a tradition every year and it’s a delicious one!
