I love raw pie! Strawberry pie is one of the first treats I made when I first became interested in Raw foods. When I first encountered a recipe on the internet I thought it was too good to be true. Now I make it all the time and have perfected this simple recipe. Its best served with raw vegan vanilla bean ice cream, especially to children or adults with a desire for a special treat that takes little time to prepare. I hope you relish this recipe as much as I do! 

Crust

• 2 cups almonds (soaked & dried or raw, chopped down in the food processor)
• 4-6 medjool dates (process first to make into a paste)
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• generous pinch of salt

Filling

Quinoa has gained quite the popularity in the past 10 years. What once was considered food for Andean warriors, then diminished by Spanish colonizers, became a health food store staple in the western world in the late 70’s. Why so cool? Because it tastes great, is a good source of Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, fiber and it is a complete protein.
