Sour Cherry and Plum Pie

This healthy sour cherry and plum pie is wonderful. The crust is made with millet groats and almond flour. Millet is an ancient cereal. It is not so commonly used, which is a shame because it is terrific. It is gluten-free, easy to digest, it contains high levels of minerals and vitamins, and it is pleasant-tasting. It contains high amounts of copper, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium. I grind millet groats in a blender, but you can buy millet flour if you want to.

The filling is made of low fat cottage cheese, which is an excellent source of protein.

For the top layer, I used fresh plums and frozen sour cherries. For whole pie I used just 4 tablespoons of honey.

And the result was delicious and healthy desert. And the best part is that one piece has only 215 calories!
