How awesome is it that you can mix blueberries into a smoothie bowl or make a healthy blueberry pie? Yep, that’s right. A blueberry pie that’s healthy! Imagine the mouthwatering freshly-baked smell of pie wafting through your kitchen that doesn't tip the scale. The thought of it is making me swoon.

What Makes This Blueberry Pie Healthy?

Now, this blueberry pie is healthy because I use clean, organic alternatives. Hey, if we can find ways to enjoy food while still keeping it clean...why not? Pie crust typically consists of white flour, butter, and salt. Some might also add sugar. While delicious, these ingredients are not exactly forgiving on the waist. And because these are processed carbohydrates, regular consumption could lead to obesity.

My pie crust, on the other hand, uses whole wheat pastry flour, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. It's dairy free, vegan and easy to make. When compared to a store-bought crust, the health benefits are night and day.

What's In This Healthy Blueberry Pie?

Now on to the berry best part. To make sure that I don't break my clean eating lifestyle, I use the following ingredients for my healthy blueberry pie:

Coconut Sugar: I love to use coconut sugar in a lot of my recipes because it’s nutritious! It contains zinc, iron, and calcium, plus antioxidants and probiotics. It’s unrefined and has a low score on the glycemic index, meaning, you won’t experience a crash from a sugar rush.
Coconut Oil: Speaking of coconut, I use coconut oil to replace butter. It’s vegan and high in plant-based fat. A healthier option to the dairy fat found in butter. If you’re not keen on a “coconut” flavor in the crust, you can opt to use virgin coconut oil. This will have the least flavor in it because it’s processed with the least heat.
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: I replaced white flour with whole wheat pastry flour. It's pretty much has the same baking experience you would get from regular flour would, minus the refined stuff. To make this blueberry pie healthy, you of course need to replace your ingredients with less processed and more nutritious items.
Arrowroot Starch: For the pie filling, I use arrowroot starch as a natural thickener instead of cornstarch. This is also a regular ingredient in my kitchen arsenal when a recipe calls for some sauce. It’s considered a healthier alternative because it has more dietary fiber. It’s also gluten-free and a popular choice over wheat flour.
Blueberries: And how can we forget, the star ingredient, blueberries! This small but mighty fruit packs quite a punch! It’s is low in calories and an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients. Most of all, it has the highest antioxidant content among all fruits and vegetables. This helps to zap away free radicals from the body.

Should I use Frozen Blueberries Or Fresh Blueberries?

Nothing beats fresh blueberries, so I always take advantage when they are in season. Fresh blueberries are plump, juicy, and hold the pie filling better after baking. But because we're not living in Utopia, we can’t have fresh blueberries year-round! When I’m craving for some pie or looking to get my fill of blueberry benefits, frozen blueberries work as well. Watch out for the excess liquid taken on while frozen, it will make your pie filling a little runnier.

How Do I Store This Pie?

Guess what? You can keep fruit pies covered in plastic at room temperature for two days. After that, you can keep it in the fridge for two more days. You can also opt to freeze your pie for up to four months. When preparing it for the freezer, make sure to wrap well in plastic or foil and keep it at the back of your freezer. When you’re ready to eat it, take your pie out of the freezer to thaw at room temperature. Then stick it into the oven until warm.
