    3 ways to make and flavour your homemade hemp milk. Hemp milk is one of my favourite non-dairy milks. It's so nutritious and easy to make your own, and there's no soaking or straining required.

    Homemade Hemp Milk - 3 Ways | melissatorio.com

    Ever since we discovered that conventional dairy triggered my oldest son's eczema flare-ups, we have tried different non-dairy milks like soy (which we don't drink anymore), rice, almond, cashew, almond coconut, etc.

    Then I got a Vitamix blender and learned to make non-dairy milks through the CNE program. Homemade non-dairy milk trumps store-bought every time. What a game-changer.

    Here are 3 simple ways you can make your own homemade hemp milk.

    What do I need to make Homemade Hemp Milk?

    Hemp Milk Ingredients

    Hemp seeds. These are hulled hemp seeds, also known as hemp hearts. They are rich in healthy fats and protein. I love adding hemp seeds to my smoothies and salads.

    Water. Use filtered water. We love our Berkey water filter.

    Natural sweetener. Use raw honey, maple syrup or medjool dates to sweeten your homemade hemp milk. If  using Medjool dates, you would need a high-speed blender (I use a Vitamix) to make the milk.

    Vanilla extract. I use Simply Organic vanilla extract.

    Raw cacao powder. Rich in antioxidants and magnesium. This is the least processed form of cacao powder. Buy fair trade as much as possible. I use the GiddyYoyo brand in Canada.

    Strawberries. Buy organic strawberries when available. Strawberries are usually on the EWG's Dirty Dozen list because they are highly sprayed.

    Making Vanilla Hemp Milk

    In a blender, add water (use cold water if preferred), hemp seeds, vanilla extract and your sweetener of choice.

    Blend on high for a few seconds until everything is well combined.

    Homemade hemp milk blends up so well, there's no need to strain out any pulp after blending.

    Pour into a glass and enjoy! Or refrigerate for future use.

    Vanilla Hemp Milk

    Chocolate Hemp Milk

    To make chocolate milk, let's add some raw cacao powder.

    In a blender, add water, hemp seeds, vanilla extract, your sweetener of choice and raw cacao powder.

    Blend on high for a few seconds until everything is well combined.

    Chocolate Hemp Milk

    Strawberry Hemp Milk

    This one is almost like a milk shake, but keep it thin enough so it's still strawberry milk.

    In a blender, add water, hemp seeds, vanilla extract, your sweetener of choice and strawberries.

    Blend on high for a few seconds until everything is well combined.

    Pour into a glass and enjoy! Or refrigerate for future use.

      Or you could just blend it in water; or you could add in some banana.. Oh! or mango, I heard it blends very well with *coughs* hemp. Should've just named it "3 Delicious Hemp Milk Recipes" coz I actually was looking for other ways of making the milk apart from blending. Nice recipes regardless.
