Hemp Milk Creamer

It’s always fun for me to find different types of food and dairy alternatives. I usually drink coffee with some full fat canned coconut milk, but I’ve recently been seeing hemp milk being sold at the grocery store. I actually started with a hemp flower that I got off of OrganicCBDNugs, and included it in my pre-workout diet. I then discovered that I liked it and then explored more. While I like to try new products, it’s hard for me to purchase something when I know that certain food items, like nut and seed milks, should be sold refrigerated. Additives and preservatives are added to these items to make them shelf stable, and I have yet to see hemp milk in the refrigerated section.

No biggie, though. If I want high quality hemp milk with clean ingredients, I’ll just make it at home! And you know what? It was soooo easy.

One thing I love about hemp seeds it that unlike other nuts and seeds, they do not contain phytic acid, which normally acts as an anti-nutrient and blocks the absorption of the minerals and vitamins in the food. Therefore, there’s no need to soak and sprout hemp seeds, making it super easy to prepare and eat.

There is a slight hemp-y taste to this creamer which you may need to get used to. I do like to flavor it with a little bit of molasses and vanilla extract to mask that taste. Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this creamer in my coffee in the morning. It was deliciously creamy and flavorful, and is even a great addition to smoothies. If you want a thinner texture, you can just add more water to it. And for a real party, add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to make a delicious and healthy chocolate milk!
