Homemade Hemp Milk

Homemade Hemp Milk is a simple and nutritious plant-based milk alternative made by blending hemp seeds with water. Naturally creamy and nutty in flavor, it’s perfect for smoothies, coffee, or just drinking on its own. It’s also versatile, as you can customize it with flavors or sweetness according to your preference.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 60 grams hemp seeds (hemp hearts)
  • 500 ml water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1-2 dates

Procedure:

  1. Combine hemp seeds and water in a blender. Add vanilla extract, sea salt, and dates.
  2. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. You can strain the milk using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a smoother consistency, but it’s optional as hemp seeds blend finely.
  4. Pour into a glass and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Hemp milk is rich in essential nutrients and is an excellent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Hemp seeds also provide high-quality plant-based protein, including all nine essential amino acids, making it a great option for vegans and vegetarians.
  • It’s a good source of magnesium, calcium, and iron, which help maintain strong bones and support overall bodily functions. Unlike many store-bought plant milks, homemade hemp milk contains no additives or preservatives and is naturally free from allergens like gluten, soy, and dairy.
