Hemp seeds are one of my favorite superfoods. Incorporating these complete protein seeds into my diet has made an incredible difference, especially with my workouts—thank you, Brendan Brazier. This recipe is inspired by his book Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life
Makes: approx. 3 cups | Preparation Time: 15mins
Tools:
Blender
Ingredients:
1 cup organic hemp seeds
3 cups coconut water, store-bought or fresh young coconut water
1 Tbsp raw agave nectar (can substitute organic maple syrup, organic brown rice syrup, raw yacon syrup or raw honey to taste. Note that honey isn’t considered “vegan” and maple syrup and brown rice syrup aren’t considered “raw”). Of course you can leave the sweetener out if you’d like unsweetened Raw Hemp Milk.
Pinch Celtic or pink Himalayan sea salt
Let’s get started.
Place all your ingredients in the blender and mix for about 10-20 seconds. No need to strain this creamy milk. Use it right away or store in an airtight glass container in your refrigerator. If it separates in your fridge, just shake before using.
NOTE: Look for unique ingredients in your local health food store and try the bulk section for the cost savings. Ask your grocer to stock the ingredients that you need.

I use this high-powered blender every day for smoothies, milks, sauces, dressings, desserts and more. The pain of the pricetag is a distant memory at this point, with only hundreds of tasty meals as replacement.
