Alisa Fleming, www.GoDairyFree.org ~ I subscribe to hundreds of foodie newsletters from both non-profit organizations and profiteering companies, but one I have really been enjoying as of late is the eclectic update from Manitoba Harvest.  Each month they feature some insanely basic (and delicious!) recipes from Kristen Suzanne, a former competitive bodybuilder turned raw foods chef ...

Manitoba Harvest is the producer of Hemp Bliss (a dairy-free milk alternative) and various other hemp products, so the recipes do coincidentally contain hemp!  Following a cherry theme (frozen OR fresh as the spring berries emerge) Kristen Suzanne uses the natural sweetness of fruit and agave nectar to make meal worthy beverages that aren't too bizarre for us cooktop addicts, but that easily qualify as raw, vegan, gluten-free, and nutritious!

Cherry Vanilla Hemp Shake (pictured above)
 
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds
1 (10oz) bag frozen organic cherries (or 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted)
1 teaspoon raw agave nectar
1/2 vanilla bean, chopped
pinch sea salt
 
Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. Yeilds 2 cups.
