1/2 cup dried mulberries

1/4 cup raw cashews

1/2 tsp cocoa powder (or it'll be brown rather than red)

2 tbsp chopped raw beet

Dehydrated coconut shreds/desiccated coconut

Blend everything in a food processor (starting with the mulberries and then adding everything else) until its a clumpy but evenly blended mixture. Roll (rounded) tablespoon sized portions into balls, and then roll in coconut. Stick cut up straws, broken wooden chopsticks, or whatever you have in to them, or just leave them as they are, then freeze for a few hours before consumption. Consume immediately if you can't resist ;) 

P.S. If you use straws, a tip to poke em in easier is to cover the top of the straw with your thumb before you poke the other end  into the raw cake pop :)

So the other day I did a ton of shopping with my Mom and then we ended our day with dinner at Real Food Cafe in Somerset! This was my second time eating there and again, it did NOT disappoint. The first time was when I met up with Serene and Andrea from Instagram :-) 

Going to do a short and sweet review of my experience there!

The first time I ate at the real food cafe, I had their vegan dumpling soup with brown rice udon noodles! The dumplings are always raved about. YES they ARE tasty :-) They're filled with mushroom and vegetables and don't taste vegan really!

This time round, I went for the vegan beetroot millet burger with onions, guac and tomatoes, served along side pan fried sweet potato wedges. The bun was crisp on the inner surfaces and the burger as a whole was 7/10 (: The beet root patty was very tomato-ey and it tasted pretty good but they texture was quite........ mushy. I completely understand though, VEGAN PATTIES ARE HARD TO GET RIGHT ): Sweet potato wedges were basically the best thing ever. SO sweet and savory and crispy. They were most likely steamed first and then pan fried! However, I prefer my meals slightly less oily :) Not that this was nearly as oily as a regular burger and fries! Far from that heh.
