  5. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into your prepared pie crust.

This is a delicious warm weather dessert made with fresh, ripe berries.  Because it is made with whole food ingredients, you don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying a slice.  This is the time of year that berries are in great abundance, so their flavors are perfectly sweet and their nutrients are high.  I had purchased a bunch of organic berries from the market so I could make a delicious dessert for the family, I just wasn’t sure what I was going to make yet.  I finally decided on pie and am so glad that I did  because it came out super good!   It’s cold, sweet, tangy, and nutritious.   You get protein from the almonds and cashews, tons of vitamin C from the strawberries, antioxidants from the blueberries and raspberries, fiber, potassium, and high levels of phytochemicals to help protect your cells from damage.  Berries also keep you mentally sharp, boost heart health, and make us feel full.  Why not have a dessert that not only tastes delicious, but is nutrient dense too!IMG_2675

My niece Ellie loves to come visit me and when she does, I love offering her healthy treats.IMG_9148

I know that most kids love frozen treats, but nowadays we have to worry about GMO’s and artificial ingredients.  This dessert is so delicious and tastes better than ice-cream,  except that there is no cream in this dessert, or artificial colors, flavors, GMO’s, or preservatives. There are only wholesome organic ingredients and made with vitamin L, love.  Because GMO’s have been proven to destroy our healthy gut bacteria and are everywhere, I love adding probiotics powder to raw recipes whenever I can.  This is such an easy dessert to make as long as you have frozen fruit on hand and it is so satisfying, delicious, and  only takes a few minutes to make.  I usually keep a can of Thai Kitchen or 365 brand organic coconut milk in the fridge because these brands once cold, the cream separates from the water, and that is the cream that I use in this recipe.  If you don’t have coconut cream on hand, a frozen banana works well to add creaminess.
