Many raw foodies know that eating too many nuts or seeds can be difficult with some people’s digestion, and they often therefore “soak” these items for 4-12 hours prior to eating, to deactivate the enzyme inhibitors. Hemp seeds do not need to be soaked in any way to be completely edible and digestible.

Makes: 6-7 cups Prep Time: 2 min
1 cup Hemp Seed Hearts

Combine the water and the Hemp Seed Hearts in a blender. You can create the desired thickness by using more or less water (from coffee creamier consistency to skim). Blend on high for 2 -3 minutes, or until creamy and smooth. To sweeten add: agave, stevia, banana, dates, figs, raisins, maple syrup, honey or your favorite fruit. Blend again until smooth. You can enjoy it thick or strain it through cheese cloth.
