With so many allergies, non dairy milks have become very popular.

This hemp seed based milk is a new one to me but I love how easy it is to make and how creamy it tastes.

HOW IS HEMP MILK MADE?

Hemp is one of the easiest to make of the non dairy milks. No soaking or straining, just blending and enjoying!

Simply measure out:

  • hemp seeds
  • water, dates
  • a pinch of salt
  • vanilla

Blend the above until it is frothy and the seeds are pulverized.

IS HEMP MILK GOOD FOR YOU?

  • naturally contains calcium (more calcium than dairy milk!)
  • contains protein
  • has the added benefits of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids in the ideal 1:3 ratio that promotes brain and heart health and is anti-inflammatory in the body
  • a good alternative for those allergic to soy, nuts and gluten
  • provides more iron than cow’s milk

WHAT DO YOU USE HEMP MILK FOR?

Well, let me tell you!

My friend Lisa is the one who passed this recipe along to me and she also relayed the many ways it can be enjoyed:

  • blend it into smoothies for an added boost of protein
  • fabulous in coffee or tea
  • for making chia pudding
  • as a base for overnight oats
  • for simply drinking straight to quench thirst!
  • if you plan to use this for drinking or in coffee adding a pinch of cinnamon is a nice touch

TIPS AND TOOLS TO MAKE HEMP MILK

I used my bullet blender for this and it was powerful enough but I did soak my dates first. If you have a high powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec, that step probably isn’t necessary.

I  buy the large bag of hemp seeds at Costco. In addition to using it for hemp milk, I also add a few tablespoons directly to my green smoothies as a whole food protein source.

HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE HEMP MILK LAST IN THE FRIDGE?

You can keep your tightly sealed glass jar of hemp milk in the fridge for up to three days. Give it a really good shake before using. You DO need to keep this milk in the fridge as it will definitely spoil at room temperature.

Remember this is freshly made without any preservatives.

Enjoy!
