Hemp Milk

The seeds of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, are used to make hemp milk. Hemp milk has a thin, watery texture and a slightly sweet, nutty taste. It is low in calories and contains little to no carbs.

Unsweetened hemp milk has 60–80 calories, 4.5–8 grams of fat, 2–3 grams of protein, and 0–1 gram of carbs per cup (240 ml). Hemp milk is similar to cow's milk in terms of fat content, but it has half the calories and protein. It also has a substantially lower carbohydrate content. It's an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians since it has 2–3 grams of high-quality, complete protein that includes all of the essential amino acids in one glass. Hemp milk also contains two essential fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-3s and omega-6s are not produced by the body, thus they must be obtained from food. Finally, unsweetened hemp milk is low in carbohydrates, making it a good choice for people looking to cut back on carbs.
