The crust of the pie is made with Medjool dates and cashews, which contain magnesium, selenium, copper and manganese — all essential minerals for healthy bone development. The Greek yogurt topping contains 34 grams of protein and 42 percent of your daily value of vitamin B12, which helps circulatory and nerve health.
