Yes, you don't need reading glasses. Yes, you're reading It right: a pie that is excellent bit for your health and for your weight-loss.
As you know by now, I'm all about 'having the cake and eating it too', no deprivation, no compromise. And definitely no food with ingredients you can't pronounce.
This pie is made of 7 ingredients total (plus spices); full of antioxidants (from the blueberries), omega 3's ( from the coconut oil and walnuts), and fiber and relief from constipation (from the dates). Just throw everything in your blender, and voila!
