How to Prepare Date Sweetened Hemp Milk, Two Ways [Vegan, Grain-Free]

In a high-speed blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth (about 10 seconds).
Place the nut milk bag inside a bowl or container, the edges of the bag hanging on the sides of the bowl. Ideally, use a bowl or container with a large opening to prevent a mess.
Pour the hemp mixture in the nut milk bag on top of the container. Lift the bag, holding it tightly from the top with one hand. With the other hand, squeeze out the liquid from the bag. When you're done, there should be only a small amount of date and hemp paste left in the bag. Clean the bag and enjoy your homemade hemp milk.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake the milk before every use. You can save the small amount of pulp and use it in smoothies, oatmeal, etc. This recipe makes 3 cups of hemp milk. Feel free to double the recipe.
