As you know, I have been trying out different types of ingredients to see what’s out there. This week when I was at Whole Foods I saw this Hemp Bliss drink.
It was in the same section as almond milk, rice milk, and coconut milk. There was also an original, chocolate, and unsweetened hemp drink. But I wanted some sweetness so I opted for the vanilla.
At first I was slightly skeptical of what this could taste like. I am not the biggest fan of rice milk, so I hoped it wasn’t like that and was more like almond or coconut milk.
To give the beverage a proper taste test, I ate it with cereal, used it in my coffee, and drank it as is.
It was delicious with cereal, and had a very similar consistency to cows milk. I personally liked the hemp milk better for cereal then the coconut milk. But, I was not a fan of the hemp milk in my coffee. I thought it would taste delicious, and that I wouldn’t need to add any extra sugar which was going to be a major bonus. But the coffee seemed to slightly change the flavor of the milk, and the milk somehow made the coffee taste much more bitter then I anticipated.
Over all, it tastes delicious. The vanilla hemp milk was not overly sweet, and it wasn’t a heavy drink. I would be more likely to add this into my diet then something like soy milk, or rice milk. It would be a tough competition between this a coconut milk, but this one might win in my book.

If you are wondering about the nutrition facts…do not fear! Hemp milk is good for you! Well…relatively good for you. I imagine the original or unsweetened variety would be slightly healthier then the vanilla flavor. But this is way better for you then a soda!

Just the word organic from the product makes it seem so healthy. I think i’ll try this one but not really for coffee. Maybe really well worth a try for cereals.
Oh I LOVE hemp milk! I just started baking with it too, and so far it’s worked out great.
Never heard of it before! Looks pretty darn cool
Thanks for sharing. Let us know how it turns out in your baking!
I tried regular hemp milk a couple of years ago and I thought it was gross. However, the vanilla flavor sounds a lot better.
I imagine the original or unsweetened would have a really strong flavor. My mom used to get hemp powder for smoothies and they always tasted fibrous and little off. You should definitely give the vanilla (or chocolate!) a try.
Erin, this is definitely a first. Never heard of Hemp milk, never heard of hemps! Thanks for the enlightenment – will have to check this one out…
something new…Hemp. thank you for the info!
haven’t tried this sounds good and healthy
Love the website renovation–looks great!
