CHOCOLATE HEMP MILK

This is a super duper simple recipe, maybe even too simple to share I thought, but then realized that I ought to because although the combo may be simple to me, it’s not quite to obvious for everyone else! It takes only a minute to blend, and makes a perfect snack. It can be made using simple cacao powder, but I daresay I prefer using nibs; they add texture and it’s really just a perfect use for them!

This rich and velvet-y milk gets its creaminess from hulled hemp seeds, which are such a great thing to have around the kitchen. I love adding them to blender drinks as a slightly-nutty, creamy addition which requires no straining because they basically just melt when blended. The hemp seeds offer a mix of fat and protein: three tablespoons offers 14 grams of fat and 10 grams protein and only 2 grams carbs. So while the banana or date adds some sugary carbs in, you could also just use non-glycemic sweeteners instead of any fruit. Either way, this drink is rich in lots of minerals from the cacao and hemp both, plus Omega 3s + 6s and high-quality plant-based protein.

The recipe is for just one serving, but you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe below and store extras in the fridge for a couple days. I prefer to enjoy this drink cold, but leave out the ice cubes if you like.

Chocolate Hemp Milk

3 heaping tablespoons raw hulled hemp seeds
2 tablespoon of cacao powder or even better, use 2-3 tablespoons of cacao nibs
half a banana or 1 medjool date
1/2 teaspoon maca
1 cup of water
dash of stevia or monkfruit powder if desired
2-3 ice cubes

Add hemp seeds, cacao, fruit, maca and water to the blender. Blend on high till creamy and smooth. (It will take longer to blend in nibs if you’re using them, so give it at least a minute.) Taste and add a little extra sweetener if desired, then add ice cubes and blend again till incorporated. Pour the frothy creamy nourishment into a pretty glass and serve with a smile!
