Kiwi Strawberry Pie

It’s always interesting when we have guests come for a visit because food seems to be central to a lot of our get togethers. Thus the dilemma of what to feed them really is just that, “a dilemma”. We love to share good food, but our idea of what good food is has really changed over time. In the past I usually made some sort of compromise because my idea of good food was what ever tasted good to our guests. I thought I would be content because I gave them what they wanted, but in actuality, I think I felt worse because I knew in the back of my mind that what I was giving them was not good for their bodies and if this is something I didn’t want to be feeding my children, then why would I feed it to theirs? What kind of message was I sending?

Well this is a recipe that everyone can feel good about and completely disappeared at both of our last two get togethers…finished off by nutritarian and non nutritarian’s alike.It’s also a fun one to get the kids involved with. Every step (except for the fruit slicing for little ones) is kid friendly and it doesn’t matter how they layer the fruit, it will always turn out beautiful. As for the flavour, the caramel & nuttiness of the crust pairs perfectly with the tartness of some fruits so no need to worry if your berries aren’t quite as sweet or ripe as you’d hoped.

I got this recipe idea from the companion book to the very insightful documentary, Forks Over Knives. I only had to make one small change to make it 100% guilt free. Please enjoy.
