Home-made, Plant-Based Hemp Milk Recipe

Hemp milk quickly solidified it's spot as a refrigerator staple after the first time I made the stuff, years ago. What's not to love? It's wildly quick and easy to make, inexpensive and packed with nutrients. Hemp hearts are high in magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids and contain all 10 essential amino acids, making it a complete plant protein.

Additionally, you don't need to strain hemp milk like you do with other nut milks, although you certainly can for a smoother texture.

INGREDIENTS:

- 6 cups Distilled Water

- ½ cup Hemp Seeds

- 1 tsp Maple Syrup

- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

- 1 tsp Salt

- 1 tsp Cinnamon

Also needed:

• Blender

• Glass, airtight jar

• Optional mesh strainer or cheesecloth

All you have to do is add your ingredients to a blender, and blend. I blend it for a minute, let it sit for a minute to let everything soften a bit and repeat that 3 times.

Lastly, pour the mix to a glass, air-tight container and when stored in the refrigerator, your hemp milk should be good to use for up to a week.
