Summer is stone fruit season, which means that summer is cherry season! If you have the the ability, go to a cherry orchard and take part in some cherry picking. It’s a great activity for families because you get to be out in the sun picking and eating cherries. How can you not have fun doing that? Pick one, eat one, pick one, eat one, and continue that cycle. Well, maybe don’t do that because you don’t want to get sick or avoid paying for cherries. Sneak a few here and there for us, though.

Cherries come in several varieties, and this raw vegan sorbet recipe calls for tart cherries. If you can only get your hands on a certain variety, go ahead and use those. Using tart cherries for a sorbet makes it a little more refreshing for these hot summer days. Sweeter varieties will also be great! Cherries also exhibit some incredible health properties. Because they work to reduce uric acid and nitric oxide build-up, cherries help reduce gout and arthritis flair ups. They may also reduce inflammation and increase natural melatonin production, which may improve your sleep.

You may notice a couple interesting ingredients that may seem out of place in this recipe. We are talking about black pepper and nutmeg. You only need a pinch of each spice because you don’t want to overpower the other ingredients, especially the sweetness of the cherries. Black pepper actually helps awaken the cherries and a little hint brings a pleasant kick to the mix. Too much and, well, you will ruin your sorbet. A pinch of black pepper and nutmeg is a wonderful balance of harmonious flavors we think you’ll love.

Portable snacks are absolutely necessary when you are cleansing and eating raw vegan. You can have apple slices, a mix of raw cashew and raw almonds, or celery sticks, but they can require large containers. Convenience is often key when it comes to snacking. A grab-and-go raw vegan snack that is both tasty and filling can be hard to come by in the store, so you have to make it yourself.

These raw vegan bars are the perfect fuel before a workout or an energy source to get you out of an afternoon slump. They contain superfood ingredients like walnuts and chia seeds, both of which are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. The bars could not come together without dates, as they help bind all of the ingredients. Dates provide natural sweetness, in addition to potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Similar to walnuts, pumpkin seeds offer lots of magnesium, but they also exhibit high levels of zinc. Not only is zinc aid with optimal immune function, but it also helps to accelerate the metabolism.

The great thing about these energy bars is that they are incredibly easy to make. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor, give them a whirl, and that’s pretty much it. The only thing left to do is press the mixture into an even layer on a baking sheet that you line with parchment paper. That is an important step, as you want to avoid sticking. Place the sheet of bars in the fridge for a few hours until firm. Remove from the fridge, cut into bars, and then wrap them in parchment paper for storage in an airtight container.

Cherries may be some of the best summer produce items. They are beautifully tart and balance the subtle tang with a pleasant complementary sweetness.
