I can’t think of a better way to continue celebrating the holidays than eating all the leftover food. I mean, seriously, think about it… leftovers sometimes taste better than the original holiday meal because it’s your last opportunity to hold onto the simple pleasure of vegging out on the couch, day drinking with a hefty pour of your favorite wine, and getting a free pass to an all-you-can-eat buffet.
But unfortunately, the leftover tradition has some consequences. As fantastic as it feels in the moment, allowing yourself to indulge in an extra day of binge eating can do some serious damage to your health, waistline and can open the floodgates to a series of excuses that can prevent you from reaching any weight loss goals.
I’m pleased to report that a solution to this predicament has been found—it’s a lighter version of a holiday favorite, a traditional pumpkin pie. We created this light pumpkin pie parfait that satisfies cravings without sacrificing all the calories.
