Chocolate Hemp Milk

Finn Russell

Report

Chocolate hemp milk is a quick and easy sweet treat you can make at home with just 4 simple ingredients. It's nut-free, refined sugar-free, and a great alternative to sugary, store-bought chocolate milk. It's great as a snack, for breakfast, and as a post-workout recovery drink.

Instructions

Add 1 cup water and the pitted dates to a blender. Let soak 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients but NOT the 2nd cup of water (we'll add that last). Starting on low, gradually increase the speed of the blender to high. Blend for about 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth.
Add the 2nd cup of water and blend again. Taste and adjust salt, cacao, and sweetness as desired. If you'd like to enjoy the milk now, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
If you didn't add ice, refrigerate the milk for 1 to 2 hours or until cold. Stir and enjoy.

Notes

Hemp Milk Flavors
Storage - keep refrigerated and use within 3 days. The recipe only makes 2 cups, so it's easy to consume while still fresh.
vanilla - omit the cacao powder.
extracts - try coffee, mint, almond, orange, or berry flavored extract.
maple - if you're like me, you may not always have dates on hand, but maple syrup is a constant in the pantry! Start with 1 tablespoon maple syrup and adjust to taste.
spiced - add a few dashes of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or chai spice.
extra protein - hemp milk is already great for pre- and post-workout, but if you'd like even more protein, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
