Hemp Milk Shakes
I made hemp milk for the first time today and made a chocolate shake. I thought is was pretty tasty, although not something that will be calling to me in the middle of the night. I did just throw some stuff together though so I will be looking for more shake recipes that include hemp milk. My hubby said it had a Lima bean after taste but overall thought it wasn’t bad either. My eight year old son loved it and downed a full glass and then had seconds.
Ironically it did leave my tummy feeling a little funny like I was about to get a stomach ache and it got my bowls moving. It felt for a bit like I just drank conventional cow’s milk…which I am allergic to but the feeling went away after a few minutes. Not sure what that means.
I mixed a cup of hemp seeds with two cups water, about 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, 4 dates, and a squirt of agave nectar. Oh and a dash of vanilla. Got any ideas for me on how to make a tastier hemp shake?

I, too, am experimenting with making hemp milk. Only I used sprouted shelled hemp seeds (from http://www.realrawfood.com). It has a notably stronger “nuttier” taste than almond milk. I didn’t care for it too much drinking it straight, but it was really good as the liquid in my green smoothies.
Do you keep your seeds in the fridge? I’ve heard that shelled hemp seeds go rancid very very quickly…
If the hemp milk continues to make your stomach not feel good, perhaps you should resort to using the seeds in other applications; sprinkle on salads or in a raw breakfast cereal (chia seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and currants, raw oat groats, etc.) or Kristin of Kristen’s Raw has a great looking recipe for Nacho Cheesy Hemp Dip that she raves about.
I’d love to hear other experiences with hemp milk too…
