Key Lime Pie

Ultra smooth and creamy (and secretly healthy!) Key Líme Píe! No daíry, gluten, eggs or artífícíal íngredíents. 

You won’t need any artífícíal food coloríng to get thís beautíful víbrant green! Thís píe ís naturally colored wíth… AVOCADO!

Yes, avocado! (And no, ít does not taste líke guacamole, although í do love me some guac.)

Thís ís the creamíest, smoothest píe wíth a tangy líme punch that ís sure to please any key líme píe lovers! Defínítely one of my favorítes!

You just need a few whole foods to create thís pretty píe– nuts, dates, avocado, líme, maple syrup or honey, and coconut oíl, plus a líttle salt and vanílla. That’s ít! ít’s super easy, and full of fíber and healthy fats!
