How to Make Hemp Seed Milk—And Why It’s a Hormone-Smart, Gut-Soothing Sip

There’s no soaking. No straining. No nut bag. Just press or blend, and pour. But behind hemp milk’s easy prep is serious health impact—especially for skin, gut, and hormone balance.

Let’s break it down.

Why Hemp Seeds Are a Nutritional Powerhouse

Hemp seeds aren’t just protein-rich—they contain all nine essential amino acids, which your body needs daily for tissue repair, hormone synthesis, and enzyme production. And they’re uniquely rich in:

• Omega-3s (ALA): Helps calm inflammation, support skin hydration, and balance mood.
• Magnesium: Crucial for your nervous system and blood sugar stability.
• GLA (gamma-linolenic acid): A rare plant-based fat that supports healthy hormone production and can ease PMS-related symptoms.
• Zinc: A skin-healing mineral that supports immune resilience and hormone metabolism.

Unlike many seeds and nuts, hemp’s nutrient profile is already bioavailable. That means it’s easier to digest—no soaking needed. (But if you’re curious why most other nuts do need soaking, check out the soaking breakdown to get the full scoop.)

The Gut-Hormone Connection

Hemp milk can play a smart role in gut-friendly and hormone-conscious routines, especially during the luteal phase of your cycle, when your body naturally craves more magnesium, healthy fats, and soothing nourishment.

Pairing hemp milk with ingredients like chia seeds, flax, or berries enhances the hormonal support. (Not sure how to align your pour with your cycle? Our guide to nut milk rituals for the luteal phase walks you through it.)

How to Make Hemp Seed Milk

You’ll need:

• ½ cup (80 g) raw shelled hemp seeds
  (use 1 cup if blending instead of cold-pressing)
• 4 cups (960 ml) filtered water
• 1–2 soft dates (optional—for a hint of sweetness)
• Dash of vanilla or cinnamon (if you like)

How to:

1. Add everything to your Nama M1 (or blender, if you’re not cold-pressing).
2. Let the M1 do its thing—or blend until smooth.
3. Pour straight into a clean glass jar or bottle—no straining required.
4. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake before each pour.

What Sets This Pour Apart

This isn’t just a “nut-free alternative.” Hemp milk shines in ways others don’t:

• Supports healthy skin from the inside out
• Soothes inflammation and gut tension
• Stabilizes energy levels (no sugar spike + crash)
• Naturally alkaline and enzyme-friendly
• No prep fuss, and great for busy mornings

Pouring It With Purpose

Try it over rawnola, in a chia bowl, or paired with mashed berries and a touch of vanilla. For more inspo, head to Instagram and see how hemp shines in the scrumptious Gut + Glow Rawnola recipe.
