I thought I'd been posting a little too much about chocolate lately, so yesterday I decided to try my hand at making raw fruit leather (or fruit roll ups, as some of you call them).  The first batch did not turn out at all - I forgot to grease the dehydrator sheet, and ended up scraping little flakes of dried up raspberries off the plastic with a knife... not really what I'd envisioned.  In my next batch I tried adding a banana, and covering the dehydrator sheet with a thin layer of coconut oil - they turned out great! 
These are perfect for when you're on the go - I'd suggest keeping some in the fridge for whenever you need a quick and healthy snack.  Most fruit leathers available out there are full of processed sugars and preservatives, but if you make your own you can feel good knowing exactly what you're eating!
My recipe makes eight fruit leather rolls, but it can easily be doubled or quadrupled to fit your needs.  If you don't like raspberries, strawberries or blackberries will work just as well.

Ingredients:
1 banana
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

Directions:
In your food processor, puree the raspberries and banana into a thick fruity paste, adding water as needed.  If you don't like the seeds, just use a sieve to strain the puree before adding the banana.
 Next, grease your dehydrator sheet with a thin layer of coconut oil and cover with fruit mixture, using a spatula to make sure it's spread evenly.   Dehydrate on 118 degrees for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight - fruit leather should be pliable, but not sticky.  Cut into eight equal strips, and roll into cylinder shapes.
