makes a large batch of raw mixture to make into any size bites.

Prep

You will need a food processor, a chopping board and greaseproof paper or cling film.

How we did it

1. Ground the cashews in a food processor, along with the himalayan salt, rooibos matcha, chia seeds and cinnamon.

2. Add the dates, goji berries and coconut oil and continue to blend together.

3. The mixture should start to become smooth and sticky. Once it is a consistency you like, you are ready to make into shapes.

4. Line a chopping board with some greaseproof paper or cling film and press the mixture onto the board, forming a large rectangle.

5. Sprinkle your decorations over the top then put into the fridge or freezer to set. Once the mixture is nice and firm, cut into little gems, triangles, squares, cats, stars, whatever your creativity calls!
