HOMEMADE HEMP MILK

This is my favorite milk! For years I was making almond milk and combo oat/almond milk but it was too time consuming soaking the almonds and straining the pulp and then I learned about how much water is needed to grow almonds. My husband came home one day with a big bag of organic Hemp Hearts from Costco and I now enjoy delicious and easy hemp milk. I do not drink glasses of milk rather put a bit in my coffee, tea, and oatmeal.

I was inspired by this recipe by at the Minimalist Baker blog: How To Make Hemp Milk

Should plant-based drink options be allowed to be called "milk?" Here is a short article from UC Davis Magazine.

What I do:

Into my high speed blender I place

4 cups water

1/2 cup hemp hearts

3-4 pitted Medjool dates

at times splash of vanilla extract

Blend for 45 seconds or so. Bam! Done!
