Quick and Easy Homemade Hemp Milk -12g protein

3 tablespoons Hemp Seeds
2 Medjool Dates (or 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup)
1 cup Water
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional Toppings or Add-ins

1-2 tablespoons Nut Butter (peanut, almond, sunflower seed butter)
Shredded Coconut
Fresh Fruit
Protein Powder of choice (for extra protein) add into the base

Instructions

To Make Hemp Milk

Add the ingredients for the hemp milk to a blender and blend until smooth. Use immediately or store in an airtight mason jar for later use.

To Make Chia Pudding

In a mason jar or air tight container, add the chia seeds and cinnamon. (If you're adding protein powder, add it in now.) Give it a quick stir, then add in the homemade hemp milk or milk of choice.
Mix well or alternatively you can seal your jar and give it a good shake. Stir in any optional add-ins like fresh or frozen fruit, yogurt, sweetener, or nut butter.
Seal your jar or container and place it in the fridge to set for at least 20 minutes, ideally 1-2 hours or overnight.
When you're ready to enjoy your chia pudding, top it with granola, yogurt, nut butter, and some fresh fruit! Enjoy!

Notes

Use Fresh Chia Seeds. If you use old/expired chia seeds the liquid wont be absorbed as much
If you are not making homemade hemp milk, you can simply add the hemp seeds in with the chia seeds and use the milk of choice to make the chia pudding.
If adding protein powder, mix it in with the chia seeds before adding the liquid. Then, mix thoroughly.
Let the chia pudding sit at least 20 minutes to set, but 1-2 hours is best.
For a chia pudding with a thicker texture, mix yogurt into the base, or use full-fat canned coconut cream as the liquid.
