Cool Blueberry Pie     Print this Recipe

Comments

We love that the fresh berries are not cooked.  What stands out is the extremely high phytonutrient, immune building rating of the blueberries. Choose wild blueberries for even more antioxidants. And this pie is very versatile, just change out the type of cookie or fruit.  Be sure to watch portion sizes though!  A little goes a long way for a sweet treat on a hot day.
