Notes
- I highly recommend making your own hemp seed milk because it will be much creamier than store-bought.
- To make your own hemp seed milk check out my recipe How To Make Easy Hemp Milk and only use the first two ingredients.
- If the mixture is too thick and chocolatey for your liking you can add more water. It is totally delicious both ways.
- You can always sub the hemp milk for cashew milk, almond milk, coconut milk, Tigernut milk, or other non-dairy milk.
- Remember! Choose unsweetened milk if you are on a sugar-free or Candida diet.
- And if you want it to be sweeter you can either add more Stevia, or add a different type of sugar like coconut sugar, or raw sugar.
- Remember if you are on the Candida diet do not add additional sugar other than Stevia.
- My favorite brand of powdered stevia is by SweetLeaf.
