Gluten-Free Vegan Recipes: Fresh Strawberry Pie

July 6, 2016
My absolute favorite thing to eat when summer rolls around is fresh, delicious strawberries. Not only are strawberries sweet and hydrating, they're also a source of vitamin C, fiber, manganese, and potassium. Talk about a guilt-free snack.
Nothing says sweet treat like a summer strawberry pie. Of course, I had to modify my favorite strawberry treat when I changed my lifestyle and became healthier. I only eat organic, non-GMO, dairy-free, wheat-free, and soy-free foods, so things can get a little complicated--but not for this pie! Nope ... this one is easy peasy.
I bought a premade pie crust from my local health store. The brand is Wholly Wholesome, and their pie crusts are certified vegan and gluten-free, but feel free to use a pie crust of your choosing or make one from scratch. Peaceful Dumpling's Lauren Sacerdote has crafted her own vegan scratch pie crust that you may also be interested in :)
