    One of my favorite things about this homemade nut milk recipe is that it doesn't require a nut milk bag, straining, or any fancy equipment. You only need a blender and ingredients to have Homemade Chocolate Hemp Seed Milk!

    All About Hemp Seeds

    Shelled hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, are a really great way to add plant-based protein and essential fatty acids to your diet. They have a nutty flavor that is SO delicious paired with the cocoa! I love how they make a recipe instantly more hearty and filling while boosting the nutrition. Hemp seeds also contain vitamin E, potassium, iron, and calcium. Hemp seeds are also high in dietary fiber, making them good for your digestive health!

    Dairy-Free Chocolate Milk

    Health Benefits of Cocoa Powder

    Unsweetened cocoa powder is made by roasting and grinding cocoa beans. Years of nutrition research has shown that chocolate may provide health benefits from antioxidants called flavanols found in the cocoa solids. When consumed in large amounts, studies have shown that flavanols in chocolate may lower blood pressure, promote lung and brain health, and even improve your mood (I know I’m always happy when I’m eating chocolate!). Look for cocoa powder that’s a vibrant dark brown color. I love Whole Foods 365 organic unsweetened cocoa powder the best!

    Vegan Chocolate Milk Recipe

    This Chocolate Hemp Seed Milk is vegan (dairy-free!), gluten-free, nut-free, paleo and refined sugar-free. It's a sweet treat that anyone with any allergy can enjoy! I hope you'll tag me on Instagram if you make this, and drop a review below to help others find the recipe as well!

    Description

    This Chocolate Hemp Seed Milk recipe is so easy to make and has the perfect blend of hemp and cocoa flavors!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups filtered water
    • ¼ cup shelled hemp seeds (also known as hemp hearts)
    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 4 soft pitted Medjool dates or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • pinch of fine salt

    Instructions

    1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend on the highest speed for 1 minute until completely smooth and creamy.  No date bits should remain.  
    2. Immediately pour over a glass filled with ice cubes.  Or, store in a milk storage bottle in the refrigerator and chill for later.  Store for up to four days.  If storing, separation will occur.  Simple give the bottle a vigorous shake before pouring.

    Notes

    The hemp seeds and dates break down during blending.  However, for an extra smooth texture you can pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to catch anything that your blender might have missed.  This straining step is also a great option if you do not have a high performance blender.

    I store my dates at room temperature to keep them soft.

      Could you use cacao powder in place of the cocoa?

        Yes! Although I do prefer the flavor of unsweetened cocoa powder a bit more. But cacao will definitely work.
