The Benefits of Organic Hemp Milk

Category: Healthy Foods, Natural Health, Organic Living
Author: Dr. Edward Group @ 12:21 pm

Though its name might be a bit misleading, organic hemp milk is a perfectly legal, not to mention healthy, alternative for vegetarians or non vegetarians. Produced from the seeds of the hemp plant, this milk has only begun to be sold in the United States within the past few years.

Hemp Seeds

One concern that people have about organic hemp milk is that it might contain some of the chemical THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is found in marijuana. Rest assured that this ingredient is not present or associated with hemp milk.

Another concern is that the hemp seeds must be imported since it’s currently not legal to grow the hemp plant in the US. Some hemp milk producers have to rely on obtaining hemp seeds from farmers in Canada or Europe, where the growth of hemp plants for oil or milk is perfectly legal.

Health Benefits of Organic Hemp Milk

Organic hemp milk is also a great alternative to toxic cow’s milk and those who cannot consume dairy because of dietary issues.

One 8-Ounce glass contains the following healthy nutrients:
  • 900mg Omega-3 Fatty Acid
  • 2800mg Omega-6 Fatty Acid
  • All 10 Essential Amino Acids
  • 4 grams of Digestible Protein
  • 46% of RDA of Calcium
  • 0% Cholesterol
  • Potassium
  • Phosphorous
  • Riboflavin
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin B12
  • Folic Acid
  • Vitamin D
  • Magnesium
  • Iron
  • Zinc
  • And more…

How To Make Your Own Organic Hemp Milk!

Ingredients:
hemp 1 cup hemp seeds (shelled)
hemp 5-6 cups of purified water
hemp Natural Sweetener, such as Agave Nectar or Raw Honey
Recipe Makes: 6-7 cups
Directions:

Combine the water and the Shelled Hemp Seeds in a blender. Use more water to achieve a skim milk consistency and less water to produce a heavier cream consistency of the milk.

Turn blender on high for 2-3 minutes, or until you reach your desired consistency. (I use the VitaMix™ brand blender)

After blending you can sweeten the milk by adding: Organic Agave Nectar, Organic raw honey, or Organic Vanilla. Blend again to mix sweetener. You can drink it thick or strain it through cheese cloth to remove the large seed particles. The seed pulp can then be used as an excellent body scrub, facial mask or compost.

It will stay fresh for 3 days in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container (I use a mason jar). Shake well before each use.

Parents: This is a very easy way to supplement a good source of organic protein, Omega-6 & Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids in your child’s diet.

Organic shelled hemp seeds can be purchased online. (I personally use ManitobaHarvest.com or Nutiva.com)

Other Things You Need To Know About Organic Hemp Milk

It can be purchased in plain, vanilla, or chocolate flavors, and the boxes they are packaged in do not have to be refrigerated until after you open them. There are now multiple stores selling multiple brands, so if you are a consumer who prefers to stick to organic products, you should not have too much difficulty finding them.

Plain organic hemp milk contains no sugar, no cholesterol, and is free of soy and gluten. For many people, these factors make it an obvious choice for an abundant source of vital nutrients. The essential fatty acids, vitamins & nutrients that are contained in organic hemp milk provide a wide variety of health benefits.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Declaration of Independence was first drafted on hemp paper.¹
Hemp Milk Benefits Include:
  • Strengthened Immune System
  • Clear, Healthy Skin, Hair & Nails
  • Strong, Healthy Heart
  • Increased Mental Capacity

NOTE: As with anything, you should always conduct a sufficient amount of research on any products that you are considering trying. There are actually quite a few different brands available on the market, and not all of them are made with organic ingredients. Try to get in the habit of reading product labels on everything, not just food and beverage items. When you regularly read ingredients of the things you and your family are using or consuming, you will develop a greater understanding of labeling practices and what to look for to be safe.

Organic hemp milk may very well be the best alternative for those of you who either do not like cow’s milk, suffer from lactose intolerance, or are vegetarians. While the taste of it may be something that you have to adjust to, you might just find that you actually prefer it to any of the other milk products you have tried.

    I wonder if anyone knows where I can buy hemp milk in the Netherlands. I know it sounds weird [insert pot smoking Amsterdam joke here], but I can’t seem to find it – although I found it, in of all places, Nashville, TN!!

    Any ideas …not adverse to making it myself, but I will need to have access to the non THC seeds.

    I’d like to try Hemp milk, I usually drink soy but this seems like an even healthier alternative. I live in nashville, would you mind telling me which store you saw it in… I’d greatly appreciate it.

    about your ? go to cannabisculture.com its a magazine company from canada, I’ve heard that you can buy bags of seeds from them, you could probably get non-thc seeds from them too, i heard about it on one of those late nite nat-geo shows, lol. hope it helps

    I hope this isn’t too far off topic, but I have a cat with a very sensitive stomach. She likes goat milk. Is hemp milk ok for cats? She is very thin, and even with food for sensitive stomach, she may vomit 1-2 x per week. (this has been going on since birth) Thanks!

    Michael West replied on October 12th, 2009:

    Cats, however, should not be fed high omega-6 oils as corn, soy, canola, hempseed, or flaxseed. Since their history is carnivorous, they lack the enzyme necessary for metabolizing plant-based omega-6 and may develop a toxicity from it.

    *ALL* cow’s milk (regular and ‘organic’) has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.

    Mr. Darbin Horse replied on August 16th, 2009:

    I’m no expert on cats, but since hemp seems to be mankind’s holy plant–it’s coevolved perfectly to meet our biological nutrition profile needs (i.e. essential fatty acids in the PERFECT ratios)–and the hempseed oil applied to the face with a cuetip cures all skin ailments and acne (I’m completely serious, I’ve suffered acne my whole life and this is the only thing you want to use besides a singular cleanser)–it might not be such a jump to think that the hemp plant might also, even slightly, meet the nutritional needs of other members of the mammalian order. I have a strong affinity for kitties, and keep feedin’ kitty goat milk and being sensitive to her needs, but definitely try out some hemp milk, a pure unsweetened version is best. If kitty is thin, she’s going to get real fat real soon, on only the best fats! Please believe it, for hemp milk is pretty fat, usually a third of the calories from fat or higher (although you could say the same thing about the regular version of Silk’s soy milk). Chances are, if kitty is going to hold any foodstuff down, it’s going to be this most essential and evolutionarily embedded foodstuff.

    Mr. Darbin Horse replied on August 16th, 2009:

    Well, I was checking out Whole Foods’ selection of hemp milk. The two best brands, it seems, nutritionally (that is, the least amount of fat, the most reasonable ratio, a third from fat), are Pacific Foods, and then some other brand, I can’t remember, maybe it’s some rainbow something or something. The other brands are sometimes half from fat or more. I know hempseed is obviously all fat, but, we’re not trying to drink hemp ice cream here. Both of these brands are sweetened. As for hempseeds, and other hemp products, there seems to be only one industry leader at this time (hopefully a world revolution will take place one day where hemp products become as commonly available as water and gasoline)–and that is Nutiva. Their hempseed oil is wonderful. Buy it and save it–it’s going to save your life when the plague sweeps the earth, quote me on this. It’s going to cure your skin ailments, applied patiently with a cuetip. But also, they carry various other hemp products–visit their website. I’m not advertising for them, I’m telling you the plain consumer facts. Hemp products are hard to come by in this cursed day and age. They carry hemp protein powder, too. The thing about that is, most people concentrate on the hempseed, but obviously, the entire plant is nutritious–by overlooking the rest of the plant, you’re just getting fat and not looking into the phytogenic, fibrous, protenous, properties of the rest of the plant… apparently, Nutiva’s protein powder reflects some of these other properties. I don’t have enough money to have ever bought it or tried it. I’ve just tried crappy other brands, lol. Good luck

    I just started Goat’s Milk for my kids and then read this site about Hemp Milk. Anyone here have experience with trying Hemp milk with their children who have autism like my son. John is mild PDD-NOS with Sensory Integration. What did you notice if anything? Thanks Eileen

    My one year old is most likely mildly autistic, of course we can’t fully diagnose. I have had him on the homemade hemp milk for a little over a week and his digestion has completely improved, he is calmer, and seems to be connecting more. He also has had cradle cap his whole life and I swear all of a sudden, after starting the hemp milk, it is falling off and clearing up! I am giving it a month to really see what happens but so far so good.

    Brenda replied on June 9th, 2009:

    Eileen, There is a protocol for autism that includes hemp milk and supplements taken daily along with therapeutic-grade essential oils. It takes into consideration calming, digestion and detoxing, alertness, balance, building immunity and cognitive performance. THe protocol was developed by a mom for her autistic son and is available for free.

    Blessings, Brenda

  6. Missy says:

    My daughter had such an intolerance to any type of whey or soy protein that she would poo blood any time I would consume anything that contained it. I was breastfeeding and had to eliminate all of that from my diet. I refused to give her the alternative formulas because the first ingredient is corn maltodextrin. I found hemp milk and began drinking it myself. I ended up taking her to a homeopathic Dr. and he suggested that if I needed to supplement her for any reason that I do it with the hemp milk. When she was 2 months old, we gave her about 2 ounces and she tolerated it great! She is almost 6 months old now and if she ever needs a bottle for any reason, that’s what she has. Sometimes my husband will take her for the day and he always takes pumped milk and a back-up bottle of hemp milk for her.
    My 23 month old loves the chocolate flavor also. She does not have the same intolerance but she loves the hemp milk.
    To all of you parents out there that are having similar problems, I’m not a Dr. but I can tell you that as a supplement to breast milk, it has given me a night or two of sleep by allowing my husband to give our baby a bottle.

    I feel for anyone going through similar problems, especially if they cannot breastfeed. It took a while to pinpoint the problem for us, but altering my diet was the best solution.

    Good luck to all you parents and grandparents out there that are trying to find solutions that are best for the little ones in your lives!

    Hemp seeds are an excellent solution for vegetarians.
    Our diets today are often without the correct balance of nutrients, for example, if you take a calcium supplement, you may not be absorbing it into the body because calcium needs magnesium and something acidic with it like a bit of vinegar or lemon juice in water to be absorbed into the body. So it is with omega 3 and omega 6. You need both to provide the cells in the body what it needs otherwise imbalances occur.

    Hi Dr. G…my little angel is 11 months old and has been allergic to breastmilk, cows milk and soy milk (she cannot take soy as she has hypothyroidism) so we just removed her off soy formula (prosobee). I was told by her ped to give her goat milk and rice milk (alternating them) along with her solids. My baby also has sever cerebral palsy which makes everything worse. I have been reading a lot on hempmilk and are tying other ways to promote brain activity for her and I find that hempmilk aids in this as well as all the nutrients found in it. I supplement her diet already with Reliv (nutritional supplement), olive oil, coconut oil, fish oil, etc to get her the extra fats & nutrients she doesn’t get from the rice & goat milk. My question (finally :) ) is, is hempmilk ok to give her since I already supplement her diet with other things? Is there any ways it could hurt her? I bought the living harvest brand in vanilla just in case. Please respond asap…thanks!!!

    I’m no doctor, but I say of all the things in the plant kingdom, at least give it a try. Science and the government has lied to us our entire lives. The probable truth is that hemp is God’s plant. You know the garden of eden? And the forbidden fruit? Well, I think the garden of eden was constituted solely by the hemp plant, it was probably the first plant we ever carried around, before and at the time of the neolithic revolution. And the forbidden fruit refers to all other bullshit plants out there that come up short on our nutritional needs (although, there are so many nutritious plants, many of which we don’t even bother eating or growing, that could feed us free and cure famine all around the world… it’s a conspiracy, I know). Hemp likely has been coevolving with us for hundreds of thousands of years, which suggests in terms of primality and allergen potential, hemp should, in theory, pose the lowest danger. I don’t think you could say we’ve been coevolving with wheat or soy for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s a shame more research isn’t conducted into this. But, heavens to murgatroid, give it a chance.

    Mr. Darbin Horse replied on August 16th, 2009:

    plus, it fat supplementation is what you’re concerned about, put down all that other bullshit. The fat from hempseeds (hemp milk) is ALL you need–I’m betting my life on it. That I am sure of. But, of course, I have other issues–I’m trying to LOSE fat, because I need to get really skinny for the XC season, and I have this annoying store of fat from eating processed bullshit and being lied to by friends, family and society, my entire life–so I can’t enjoy the perfect fattening pleasure of hemp milk as much as I’d like. But yes, hempseed has the essential fats in PERFECT ratios, apparently. Find out for yourself if you don’t believe me. Someone out there knows the truth, and many others out there are incredibly ignorant and full of shit–including most nutritionists and doctors, dumbass robots that have gone through our flawed institutions. They know everything about anatomy and so many goddamn things, yet nobody can spread the word about exercise and kinesiological balance, and nutritional balance with superfood plants and hemp. Something’s gotta change in this world, for christ sake…

    My 1 yr old granddaughter was taken off of formula and put on soy, but has had a lot of problems with bronchitis lately. Could she be allergic to soy as well? I thought that it was the lactose that created the allergic reaction? Would hemp milk cause her to produce excessive phlem? If not, then I’d like to get some….so where would I find it? My 30 year old daughter, who is the mother of my granddaughter, is an asthmatic, somewhat severe, to say the least. Would she benefit from this hemp milk as well? Could my granddaughter be misdiagnosed as having asthma??? Please advise ASAP! Sincerely, V. (desperate grandma)

    [Reply to this comment]

    Dr. Edward Group replied on January 20th, 2009:

    Hi V,

    It is very possible that she is allergic to soy. Most people are. I highly advise against the consumption of all non-fermented soy products. They are extremely toxic to the body and contain phyto-estrogens which can alter a baby’s natural hormone regularity. For infants I recommend Organic raw goat milk if the mother cannot breastfeed. Hemp is about the next best thing but I would call Bob Labine first and he can test your grandson over the phone for allergies and what milk would be the best for him. Not sure what his rates are though. His number is 480-948-6756

    caroline probyn replied on May 12th, 2009:

    hello !
    I have been using hemp milk in the mornings for a while, it’s great ! I feel ike it nourishes the body as a complete, whole food. I never feel hungry after drinking hemp milk. I soak some figs or dates overnight and add them to the soaked hemp seeds ad whizz together, then strain through a muslin.
    However, my question has been triggered byt he comments on Soy … that tyou say most people are allergic to soy, and we shouldn’t use NON-FERMENTED versions of soya…
    I am entering the menopause and most sites recommend high doses of phytooestrogens that you get in soya products, so I have been using some tofu etc. I was actually considering getting some dried soya beans to soak and sprout or cook, as I thought that might be a more pure way to use it. But from what you are saying it is only good to use the fermented versions …. Is TOfu fermented ? or do you mean things like tempeh, miso etc ???
    Any advice gratefully received !

    I would actually agree with you that cleansing is the first step and after that the body should come back to its natural order..

    caroline probyn replied on May 12th, 2009:

    Hello again Dr G !
    just to sya i am very grateful for your site, which is new to me…really really helfpul. thanks for being there !
    secondly – yes i do not really understnad the estrogen /preogest thing … they say that japanese women eat more soy products and that’s why they don’t have menopausal symptoms like we do in the west … ahve you heard this too ?
    but then others i have heard are also saying about the progesterone intake. I am unsure about using these things because I have a deep trust in the body’s own wisdom and am always looking for things that don’t make too many artificial changes, epsecially in the hormone department !!! I partly think that some menopausal symptoms are necessary, eg: the sweating may be necessary to cleanse the system when a woman is no longer menstruating ?
    Are there progesterone products you would recommend in particular ?
    Many thanks again
    Caroline (UK)

    Dr. Group replied on May 12th, 2009:

    Women in my opinion should not consume or take in excess estrogens. They should use progesterone instead. You can find fermented tofu in some places and yes I am talking about miso and tempeh. Your hemp milk recipe is great.. Thanks for sharing.

    Hello Dr. G,

    my son is severely allergic to the protein in the milk, he can not have any kind of milk whatsoever! He was drinking Silk Soy for couple of years, but his allergist told us not to give it to him anymore because it is affecting his asthma. He had asthma attack frequently, so he is drinking rice milk now, that doesn’t taste the same and very lite.
    Do you think it would be safe to try.
    He is anaphylactic (only to the milk) and also has other food allergies just not that severe, and a lot of different kind of environmental allergies.

    Hello Dr. Group I was wondering how long have you consumed hemp seeds?

    Also, what are your thoughts on getting a food allergy test?

    The reason I ask is because I started consuming seasme seeds because I heard they are really good for skin and nails but I started getting flares up ( acne), I am not sure if it is due to the sesame seeds or maybe something else.

    I was wondering if these tests are a sham or they are the real thing?

    Last question is what do you think of hemp seed protein?

    Dr. Edward Group replied on January 7th, 2009:

    Hi Cedric,

    I have consumed and made my own hemp milk for about three years and use the oil on salads etc..I think Hemp seed protein is one of the best sources of non meat and dairy protein. As far as allergy testing goes, I am not confident in the accuracy or could I recommend a test I feel comfortable with. Try replacing the sesame seeds with white chia seeds. If you have allergies, your system is overloaded with toxins so I would recommend full body cleansing.

    Caroline, You should not have a problem with the sequence below. The only change I would make is to wait 10 days instead of 5 for the consecutive liver and gallbladder cleanses.

    Dr. Groups Whole Body and “Green Living” Cleanse Steps:

    Step 1: Fill out a Health Questionnaire to evaluate your current health status

    Step 2: Perform the 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse or the 6-Day Advanced Oxygen Colon Cleanse (recommended for best results)

    Step 3: Perform your first Liver & Gallbladder Cleanse

    Step 4: Rest for 5-10 days

    Step 5: Perform your second Liver & Gallbladder Cleanse. During this time start on your Harmful Organism Cleanse.

    Step 6: Fill out the Health Questionnaire again to evaluate your progress.

    Step 7: Rest for 5-10 days

    Step 8: During this rest period, test yourself for heavy metal toxicity using the Mineral Check Test Kit

    Step 9: Perform your third Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse

    Step 10: Rest for 5-10 days and fill out the Health Questionnaire again

    Step 11: Perform the Chemical & Heavy Metal Cleanse

    Step 12: Continue on a maintenance dose of Oxy-Powder® 2-3x weekly to keep your intestines clean and prevent toxins from entering your body.

    Step 13: Perform the “Green Living” Cleanse.

    NOTE: Detoxifying the body is a big step in the right direction, but it must be coupled with an active effort to start avoiding or eliminating your exposure to heavy metals and toxic chemicals on a daily basis. My new book Health Begins in the Colon describes these toxins in detail and gives you easy methods for identifying and eliminating them from your diet, home and work environment so you can live a healthy, clean, and green life!

    I personally used organic raw goats milk to supplement my child’s diet and found it at a local farmers market. This would be my first choice. If I could not find Goats milk I would make my own Hemp milk and give it to my child but there is not enough research to confirm a Hemp milk only replacement for children, it is not as high in protein as regular milk.

    Some of my friends think I’m weird because I like to drink hemp milk. They always joke that it’s gonna “get me high” and stuff like that… Ironically, I drink it because it tastes good.

    Thanks for the article… I’m going to email it to all of them now.

    Ahhhhh, Dr. G, you’re the man…. thanks to you i’ve been drinking the living harvest chocolate hemp milk. Drinking some right now :)

    I’m a poker player and I feel the “brain power” that hemp milk gives me mentally while i’m playing. Try it out guys it’s really good :)
