Summary: Stunning and delicious yet super easy to make, this raw berry tart will impress your friends and family. It has a nuts and dates pastry, a cashew and coconut based cream and is topped with berries. Use fresh berries in the summer when they are plentiful, and just use frozen berries when they are not in season. Would also make a fine Valentine's Day treat !

Summary: Although commercial trail mixes are widely available, I like to make mine, so that it has exactly what I like, and none of what I don't like so much. Also known as GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts or Granola, Oats, Raisins and Peanuts) in the trekking and hiking community, trail mix, a combination of nuts and seeds and dried fruits, sometimes with chocolate, is the perfect snack while hiking, as it is lightweight, does not require refrigeration and provides a quick energy boost from the dried fruits and more sustained energy from the fats and the protein in the nuts and seeds. In my own version, I use my favourite nuts : creamy brazil and macadamia nuts, coconut chips, super healthy goji berries, super sweet raisins, super mellow mulberries, and finally, I add raw cacao nibs, which are the original chocolate chips, for a cacao hit.
For a fully raw trail mix, be sure to use raw coconut chips.
Makes 650g : about 4 cups or 1 litre.
(16 generous 1/4 cup servings)

Summary: Be warned, this shake is very rich and creamy - So much so that you won't want to share it! For an even thicker alternative, try using a frozen banana.
The banana will make the milkshake nicely sweet, only add dates if you desire extra sweetness.
