Easy as pie
I’ve just begun learning about the raw food lifestyle while studying at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN). It’s interesting. And what I like about it most is that while I’ve been transitioning from eating fast-food/junk-food meals three times a day to learning to eat like a normal person should, I’ve unknowingly been doing a lot of the things new-to-raw-food-people do. I started grocery shopping at farmers markets, I’ve switched a lot of what I eat to organic foods, I’m thinking of food as enjoyable nutrition instead of something to fill me up – literally and figuratively.
Long story short, all of this lead me to connect with Glen Colello, an owner of a raw food cafe in Connecticut and a graduate of IIN. Turns out, Glen and company make raw food pies for the holidays! Take a look:
Does that not look just like the most amazingly delicious pie ever? Could you just imagine bringing that to the family on Thanksgiving! It’s so pretty! And the best part is that it’s made only with high-quality, organic, raw ingredients! I’m in heaven!!!
Of course, I haven’t yet *made* my own raw food pie…but if it tastes anywhere NEAR as good as it looks I’ll be happy!
Here’s a link to a basic raw food pie recipe I found: How to Make a Raw Food Pie
And, here’s another link to some more raw food pie pics: Google Search of Raw Food Pies
Happy raw-food-exploring everyone!
Much love,
