With the sunny weather we have been thinking about some other fab fresh fruity concoctions we could share.

This led Emily, our Head of Marketing, to coming up with one of her favourite raw recipes. This has been adapted to and added to from many experiments and researches into the creation of raw food.

This particular version uses blueberries but any fruit could be added to the topping, and as it is a raw creation the vibrant colours really come through.

Due to the fact that this is a no bake recipe your equipment of choice will be a food processor and a fridge instead of an oven, but for this reason why not try adding some colourful superfood additions such as pink pitaya or black goji berry powder to get some really show-stopping colours involved.

Step 5:

With the remainder of the mixture add the majority of the blueberries (or chosen fruit) plus about a teaspoon of black goji berry powder if using, and continue to blend in the food processor.

You can then either place this in the freezer for a good few hours or back in the fridge overnight to set.
