Homemade Vanilla Hemp Milk Recipe

Here’s a super easy and delicious Homemade Hemp Milk recipe that is dairy-free, vegan, and paleo. Use this recipe for smoothies, chia puddings, or on your cereal. 

This homemade Vanilla Hemp Milk is my favorite non-dairy milk of the moment. This recipe is pretty awesome because it requires no straining through a nut milk bag, which ensures that you get the full nutrition from the hemp seed, including fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. It also means that it is super easy and fast to make, taking all of 10 minutes from start to finish.

Of course, you’ll need to start with hemp seeds, also called hemp hearts. I like to buy organic hemp seeds online or at any natural foods stores. I’ve even found them at Costco.

If you’ve never had hemp seeds, they are fairly neutral in flavor, tender, with just a little bit of crunch. I think they are just delightful when eaten in their raw form.

Recipe Steps

Step One

Gather your ingredients, including hemp seeds, water, dates, and a vanilla bean. If you don’t have a vanilla bean, you can always use vanilla extract or just leave it out.

Step Two

Then, you literally just combine the ingredients, blend them for 30 seconds in a high-speed blender, and then pour into a glass container for storage.

Step Three

The hemp milk will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator. If it separates before you use it, just give it a quick shake.

How to Serve

I prefer to use hemp milk for raw (non-cooked) recipes to preserve the healthy fats, a chia pudding with blueberries is one example. To make the pudding, just combine 1/2 cup of the hemp milk with 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and top with fresh blueberries.

Other ways to use hemp milk include: as a coffee creamer, as the base of a green smoothie, or on top of granola. See my recipe for Homemade Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Granola.
