A Berry Good Pie

I think this recipe originated with my sister, Ashley, but has been adopted by many.
This pie is so easy my dad can make it and so tasty that we make it 2 pies at a time! It is also FAT FREE!

Ingredients:
1 reduced fat graham cracker crust
2 cups frozen berry medley
1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
2 T lemon juice
1 tub of fat free cool whip

In a blender, blend the frozen berries. Then, blend in the condensed milk and lemon juice. Pour mixture in the graham cracker crust. Freeze for about one hour. Top with cool whip. Keep frozen.
