Hemp Seed Milk

This recipe is the simplest nut milk recipe you will find! It doesn't even need to be strained! Make this when you are pressed on time. Heat for a nutty latte...

Ingredients:

1/4 cup shelled hemp seed
1 cup water
Sweetener (agave nectar, raw honey, coconut palm nectar)

Directions: Place seeds in a blender and add a small amount of water (approx. 1 inch above the seeds). Turn the blender on at multiple speeds and agitate the seeds so that they become a thick hemp cream. Then add either vanilla, agave nectar, or honey, or perhaps only a ripe banana. Serve the blended liquid as a thick drink, or add water to taste for a lighter hemp milk. (this is what the picture shows below) Optional: add berries, peaches, and/or papaya.

Make chocolate hemp milk by simply adding 1-2 T of raw cacao powder!

For an incredible protein boost, add one Tablespoon of Sun Warrior Protein to the above hemp milk, and increase the water to 2 cups. Sun Warrior Protein offers a balanced source of complete protein which is almost completely assimilated by the digestive system, complementing the high quality protein found in hemp seeds.

Increase the bioavailability of the Omega-3 fatty acids in this Hemp Milk by adding Raw, Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil. The shorter, more stable Medium-Chain Triglycerides in Coconut Oil work synergistically with the longer, more flexible EFAs found in Hemp Seeds. Plus, the addition of a small spoonful of Coconut Oil creates a smoother hemp milk with an incredible flavor and aroma!
