Raw No-Bake Strawberry Pie!

 It's raw. It's Vegan. It's sugar-free. It's no-bake. It's gluten and wheat free. It's simple. And best of all...
IT'S EASY!

You'll need some strawberries, some dates, nuts (besides peanuts and cashews, any kind works really), lemon juice, and a few short minutes!

Ingredients:

5 C. strawberries
2 C. pitted dates
2 tsp. lemon juice (or orange)
2 C. pecans (walnut or almonds)

All you will need is a food processor.

CRUST:
Take your pecans and place them in your food processor till they are completely ground. Next take 1 cup of your dates and add it to the mixture. Place your crust into a non-stick pie dish and pat it down with your hands until it is evenly distributed.

FILLING:
Before making your filling, place dates into a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes to soften.
Nicely lay 5 cups of your strawberries (thinly sliced) onto your crust.
Next place your softened dates in your processor with 1 cup sliced strawberries and lemon juice and blend till it comes to a puree.
Once finished, spread your strawberry puree on the top of your pie and add shaved chocolate for a garnish and enjoy!
