I can’t think of a more delicious way than to do it this way.Īs usual, this dessert is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, and delicious! Undereating is bad for so many of our hormones so it’s important to eat enough, especially on a plant-based diet. I know that might sound like a very strange thing to say and I do not promote overeating at all but way too many women are under-eating.

It’s also an easy way to eat some calorie-dense food that’s actually good for you without having to eat massive portion sizes at every meal. You can add so many wonderful ingredients that are so great health and one that I’m not easy to eat regularly unless you make a special effort. This is what I’ve always liked about healthy desserts and raw desserts in particular. It also gives a great custard-like texture to the filling. This key lime pie also includes silken tofu which is also a good source of tryptophan and calcium and have the phytoestrogens, which can help raise or lower estrogen levels depending on what your body needs. All nuts and seeds are amazing for healthy hormones and healthy neurotransmitters because they are high in tryptophan and magnesium but some are a little more special than others. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to add more hormone-healthy food ingredients into my desserts. It is such a big effort and takes such a long time! Thankfully the little citrus press that I use to squeeze lemons also works great for limes and oranges so that makes it a lot easier so I don’t have to pull out my big fat juicer! But I still haven’t found an easy way to zest limes! Help! As much as I love the way this dessert turned out I have to say that I absolutely hate zesting limes.

So I think I got very lucky with the flavor. That means a lot to me because I haven’t even tasted the original dessert! I’m pleased to say that she loved it so much and she said it was even better than the traditional sugar-laden dessert that she’s used to. I made it especially for her because I know that she misses home, but is also trying to make small steps in having a healthier diet. I asked my friend what her favorite type of desserts are and she proceeded to tell me that it was a lime custard type dessert. We recently made some new friends that are visiting from Brazil and they explained to me how limes are so popular in Brazilian cooking that they take the place of lemons in everything. It’s been years and years since I’ve made a vegan lime dessert.
