MAKES 375 ML (13 FL OZ/1½ CUPS)

Raspberries are a beautifully tart and refreshingly sweet treat low in yeast-feeding sugars, making them an excellent replacement for confectionery, conventional sweets and even high-fructose fruits such as bananas. Be on the lookout for the freshest (or fresh frozen) organic raspberries, as studies have shown them to contain higher levels of antioxidants.

155 g (5½ oz/1 cup) natural cashews, pre-soaked and drained

60 g (2¼ oz/½ cup) frozen raspberries, plus extra, mashed (optional)

½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of Celtic sea salt

Purée all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Stir through extra raspberries, if using. Serve immediately.
