High-protein hemp milk
Have you ever heard of hemp milk? This plant-based type of milk may not be as well known as almond or oat milk, but it definitely deserves a place in your fridge. Especially if you are looking for protein-rich plant-based milk, hemp milk is a smart choice. Indeed, hemp milk contains much more protein than regular plant-based milk, and is perfect for people who want to avoid both dairy and nuts. But even if you don't have allergies, this is an amazing type of milk: full of vegetable proteins, omega 3, magnesium and a range of vitamins. What's more, you can make it yourself in a few minutes with the MULSI — and, like every time, completely junk-free, without unnecessary additives or unhealthy sugars.

Hemp milk is a fantastic plant-based milk variant that is high in protein
Why choose hemp milk?
- Packed with protein: Peeled hemp seeds contain no less than 34 grams of protein per 100 grams. In comparison, regular cow's milk contains 3 to 4 grams per 100 ml. Hemp milk is therefore ideal as a natural plant-based protein supplement, for example for athletes or anyone who wants to get extra protein.
- Rich in good fats: Hemp seeds are an excellent source of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, important for your heart, brain and anti-inflammatory processes in your body.
- Multivitamin in a glass: It's full of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, C, and E, plus magnesium, iron, and zinc.
- Easily digestible: In contrast to some other plant-based milks, hemp milk is easy to digest and causes hardly any gastrointestinal problems.
- Nut-free and dairy-free: Perfect for people with allergies or intolerances.
In terms of taste, hemp milk is best compared to sunflower seeds: slightly nutty, but also slightly greenish and sometimes a bit bland. That's why you can season it with vanilla, cinnamon or a hint of sweet.
Make your own hemp milk with the MULSI
The big advantage of making hemp milk with the MULSI? You'll be ready in 5 minutes and don't even have to sift. This is because peeled hemp seed is so soft that it completely blends into the milk if you blend properly. So no hassle with nut bags or filters!
Below is a delicious basic recipe:
Recipe: High Protein Hemp Milk
Ingredients (for approx. 750 ml hemp milk):
- 60 g peeled hemp seeds
- 750 ml water
- Pinch of (Celtic sea) salt
- Optional:
- 1 date (pitted), for light sweetness
- 1 tsp cinnamon or vanilla extract
- 10 g raw cocoa powder (for healthy chocolate!)
Preparation:
- Put the hemp seeds into the MULSI sieve filter. Optionally, add the date, cinnamon, vanilla or cocoa.
- Fill the basin with 750 ml of water.
- Blend with your hand blender for 1 to 2 minutes until the milk is light green and creamy.
- Use the pestle to squeeze out the last drops.
- Taste and possibly add some sweetener or extra water if you want the milk to be thinner.
What do you use hemp milk for?
- As a base for your green smoothie
- In your post-workout protein shake
- With your overnight oats or oatmeal
- For creamy sauces or soups
- Simply as a glass of plant-based milk
Hemp milk is also perfect as a plant-based alternative in baking recipes or desserts. Note: the taste can be a bit greener or grassier than almond milk, for example, so always try to add extra seasonings.
Zero waste: What do you do with the pulp?
Because peeled hemp seeds are very soft, there is often little pulp left over after making hemp milk. However, if there is a small residue, you can process this zero waste:
- Through smoothies for extra fiber
- In crackers or wraps
- As a basis for energy bars
- Through hummus or spreads
