Description
I'm pretty convinced that chocolate milk is an instant mood booster! My favorite version is a vegan chocolate hemp seed milk, and I love how the hemp and cocoa flavors blend perfectly together in this recipe. This recipe is nut-free and full of plant-based nutrients. No strainer needed!

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.
