Crust:

• 1 c. shredded coconut

Mix coconut and almonds in high-powered blender or food processor. Blend in dates and coconut oil. Press dough into pie plate.

Filling:

• 2 c. shredded coconut
• 2 tbls. coconut oil
• 1/8 c. honey or sweetener of choice (more if desired)
• 2 c. frozen or fresh strawberries

Blend in high-powered blender. Spoon into pie crust. Refrigerate.

* To sprout almonds: Place in a bowl and cover with water. Add a bit of salt if desired. Wait 8 hours or allow to soak overnight. At this point you can keep the skins or remove them. The almonds will have begun the sprouting process, eliminating the phytic acid they contain and making them easier to digest.
