blood sugar friendly key lime pie

the birthday pie that proves you don't have to sacrifice dessert for stable blood sugar!

after several attempts, this is the winning recipe for birthday key lime pie

This special recipe was born from the sweetest birthday request from Nest Wellness community member Kate. She shared that July 11th is both her birthday and the half-birthday of her twin daughters. What makes this even more special is that July 11th also happens to be my oldest daughter's birthday - such a wonderful coincidence!

Do you have a recipe request? I would love to hear it!

Nutrient benefits of this key lime pie

• Almond Flour: Rich in plant-based protein, vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health and provide sustained energy
