So what does a gal who can't tolerate dairy, shouldn't have soy, and is allergic to rice & almonds do when it's time to make a bowl of cereal? Why hemp milk, of course!
Who knew? Hemp, the organic wonder plant, had a big buzz (no pun intended) in the 90s. After a closer look, I was also delighted to know hemp is a great addition to the diet. It boasts containing all the "essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life." (courtesy of Wikipedia.com)
I happened upon hemp milk for the first time ever at my last Whole Foods trip and was thrilled to see it. Definitely thicker than soy or almond milk with a frothy texture and it tastes great. I'm a huge fan of letting cereal soak in milk to the point of being soggy and that's another great benefit. Hemp milk seems to speed that process up and makes cereal moist pretty quick. If you're not a fan of that phenomena, eat your cereal quickly.
The cost of hemp milk isn't the best bargain, unless you're like me and practically have to live in a bubble due to food allergies. I bought a 32-ounce container of Living Harvest®, which retails for $3.99 (or 12.5 cents an ounce). Granted, Whole Foods can be an expensive store and I'm on the look-out for other stores that might carry it.
Meanwhile, enjoy hemp milk!
