The Health Benefits Behind the Ingredients

Almonds & Walnuts

These nuts provide healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein that support heart health and help keep you feeling satisfied.

Dates

Dates naturally sweeten the crust while providing fiber and minerals like potassium, making them a great alternative to refined sugars.

Coconut

Shredded coconut and coconut oil add richness along with healthy fats that support sustained energy.

Almond Milk

Almond milk keeps the filling light and dairy-free while adding a subtle nutty flavor.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that help fight inflammation and support brain and heart health.

Strawberries

Strawberries add natural sweetness and vitamin C, supporting immune health and giving the pie its red-white-and-blue appeal.
