These delicious Nakd inspired fruit and nut bars are a healthy, easy and cheap alternative to store-bought products. All you need are a few simple natural ingredients and a food processor – it can’t get any easier than that!
Firstly, whizz up your cashew nuts in your food processor till they have a thoroughly chopped texture.
Secondly, add the dates to the mix and blend till you have what resembles an almost rubble like mixture (as illustrated in the picture below).
Thirdly, add the vanilla essence (opt out if you prefer) and whizz in the 30g of cranberries and raisins.
What’s more, without the additional fruit, you have the perfect Nakd Cashew Cookie replica! By now, you should have a squidgy mixture, clumping together when squished by hand.

Finally, leave your dish in the fridge for a few hours to set and you are good to go!
