Scrumptious Berry Pie from Intern Caralee!

June 8, 2017 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

I am pretty excited to have an intern this next few weeks. Part of the reason I’m especially grateful is that I am about to go out on maternity leave with my 2nd child. Intern Caralee is going to do some fun things in the office and for the blog while I’m out, which I’m super happy about!

This week is what we’re calling my “bonus week” because I’m overdue with the baby and so I had the privilege to enjoy her Wellness Wednesday recipe sample. It’s so yummy! And my kind of recipe, since it only requires 5 ingredients, much of which you probably already have at home.

Here’s Caralee’s description of the recipe, which she makes for her husband and his “sweet tooth”! Try it out and let me know what you think!

Scrumptious Berry Pie

This pie recipe is simple, delicious and packed with antioxidants and fiber!  A mixture of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries is listed.  However, the recipe can be used for single berry pies or different variations of fruit as well.

This is a great recipe for a 4th of July cookout as it displays bright blue and red hues.  For an added touch, use a cookie cutter to cut a few stars out of a pie shell.  Bake the stars on a cookie sheet and add them to the top of the pie before serving.  This is a guaranteed crowd pleaser – and healthy to boot!

    Looks yummie. Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking of making a pie crust with coconut oil, since it’s a sat fat and should do well.
