Quick and easy tutorial: how to make homemade hemp seed milk ready in less than 5 minutes. Nut-free, raw and good for you, perfect for your morning coffee or favorite smoothie.
If you are looking for a plant-milk with creamy consistency good even for latte art, then hemp seed milk is for you.
Not only is it healthy and tasty, but it requires no overnight soaking of the seeds. You can literally throw everything in a high-speed blender (I love my Ninja) at the last minute and have a creamy, frothy beverage in no time.
Hemps seeds, or otherwise known as hearts in the superfood community, are simply the seeds of the hemp plant aka Cannabis sativa. The same stuff they press to make hemp oil.
No my friends, we won’t be getting high from them as they do not contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), instead we can benefit from all their good for you superfood power.

I’ve been making plant milk with hemp since I found this recipe and it is now our most favorite milk. Stocked up on the bulk hemp as well and we are really enjoying all the benefits of this whole food. Thank you for the inspiration, loving this site.
My top choice for homemade plant milk, the easiest seed to work with especially straining is so quick and simple unlike cashews or almonds that can take some time to soak and strain. I’m a hemp girl now, thank you for the inspiration Florentina!
