No Bake Fruit Pizza

June 23, 2016August 21, 2016 Melissa King 11 Comments

This is Emily from PrettyPies.com and I am delighted to be guest posting for My Whole Food Life today to share this recipe for No-Bake Fruit Pizza! This fun summertime dessert is perfect for the 4th of July!

Many years ago, long before my whole-foods transformation, I was introduced to a dessert known as fruit pizza. Have you tried it? Basically, it’s a concoction of ultra-processed foods: store-bought refrigerated cookie dough, cool whip, marshmallow fluff or cream cheese plus more refined sugar. A long list of not-so- healthy ingredients. Since I’d much rather have real food, I decided to do a recipe makeover!

We have all had pesto before, but have you ever tried adding split peas to it? It adds a wonderful flavor as well as a boost of protein. This Green Split Pea Pesto Pasta Salad is a must make! It starts with these beautiful split peas.

This is perfect for summer cookouts and parties. The tomatoes also add some nice color and pair well with the mildly sweet flavor of the peas. Most recipes for split peas are soups, but I wanted to utilize them in a different way. They were perfect in this pesto.

Have you tried a spiralizer yet? It’s truly life changing. You can make so many delicious creations with veggie noodles. In fact, this recipe comes to you from the cookbook, Nourishing Noodles – Spiralize Nearly 100 Plant Based Recipes for Zoodles, Ribbons, and Vegetable Spirals.
