Raspberry Yogurt Pie Recipe with Granola Crust

This yogurt pie recipe was inspired by a product I received at no charge to review but all opinions expressed here are my own.

I have two very distinct aspects of my personality when it comes to food. I have the part of me that wants to eat as healthy as possible and then I have the other half that craves desserts at an alarming rate. These two haves of my personality are at war with each other on a regular basis. Every once in a while I find a way to create something that makes both halves of me happy. When I received some granola from KIND to try out I knew right away I wanted to create something sweet and decadent with it. Granola is wonderful for breakfast in the morning or on top of low fat yogurt for a healthy snack but the dessert craving half of me wanted MORE. This raspberry yogurt pie recipe is a perfect balance between healthy goodness and sweet dessert (if you are looking for something a bit more decadent, try my peanut butter pie recipe!) (if you are looking for something a bit more decadent, try my peanut butter pie recipe!). You can alter the fruits in it depending on what you find for yogurt and fresh fruit. The original recipe was a blueberry yogurt pie but I thought the raspberries would be a nice change of pace.

The KIND granola that I received to try  out comes in several different flavors and is all natural, non GMO, has no refined sugars and is loaded with whole grains. It is also cholesterol free, gluten free and low in sodium so it is a good choice for people on restricted diets. It is lightly sweet and full of ingredients you can actually pronounce. If you would like a more portable healthy snack you can check out the KIND Bars

. They are a huge hit in my house and come in a wide variety of flavors. I have tried several of them over the last few years and have yet to try one that I didn’t like.

This raspberry yogurt pie recipe was incredibly easy to make and if you choose a gluten free cream cheese this recipe is very easy to make completely gluten free. I used Noosa raspberry yogurt which is a full fat yogurt. You could substitute a low fat Greek yogurt if you are trying to reduce the fat content.

If you are looking for KIND bars they are now available in Target for the first time in the pharmacy section!
