Easy creamy hemp sauce remake

by Lori and Michelle on February 1, 2010

Hey friends,

Here it is Monday again hopefully everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend!

The twins sure did – we stayed inside ALL weekend long!! We did manage to get lots of work done and watched some movies mainly the Bourne Trilogy! We are in love ;)

Our eats for the weekend were filled with delicious green smoothies, fermented veggies, and a yummy dessert (more on that later)

We tried a new vegetable combination for our fermented veggies this week.

Had some roasted brussels sprouts and acorn squash with rosemary

But last night’s dinner we took Gena’s creamy hemp basil sauce and put our little twist on it ;)

Pure2Raw Remake of Gena’s Recipe of Creamy Hemp Basil Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 date (used medjool)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • small handful of fresh parsley

Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth!

We poured our creamy hemp sauce over our favorite noodles – kelp!

Here is a sneak peak of that delicious gluten free vegan dessert – we will share recipe later this week!

Gena’s sauces are quite brilliant, aren’t they?! I can’t wait to try that one. And that dessert… my God… I feel like I can taste it just by looking at it. :)

I love the Bourne Trilogy! But I think I like the idea of that hemp basil sauce even more :-) I will look forward to hearing about the gluten free cake as I stay away from gluten as much as possible.
