Healthy Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Thanksgiving is that time of year when you stuff yourself silly with all the guilty pleasures.  I am going to try to make healthier versions of all the naughty dishes.  The first one that came to mind was to make a vegan green bean casserole.  Who doesn’t love it in all it’s decadent glory?  The original version is not vegan and contains a lot of unwanted ingredients.  My vegan green bean casserole is much healthier
and just as delicious…

I am including a gluten free option in this recipe as well.  So you can save all the calories for dessert. 🙂

What are some other Thanksgiving guilty pleasures?
