Blueberry Banana Cream Pie
My friend, Megan, has joined me on the raw food journey and has been the main inspiration for this decadent dish. She was also a great help as we prepared our layers of cream, blueberries, and bananas. We created this as we went, having only her grandma's blueberry banana pie to replace with an organic raw version. This pie will definitely now be in the rotation of delicious raw desserts and introduced to granny of course! For more recipes visit my recipe blog http://amandanicolesmithrecipes.blogspot.com/ [3]
