The Instacart guide to hemp milk
Hemp milk is a non-dairy alternative that's intended to mimic the consistency of dairy milk, and it works well as a substitute for dairy milk for many recipes and uses. This non-dairy beverage is made from hemp seeds and water, which are blended to create a slightly creamy beverage that's similar to cow's milk. Hemp milk is available through Instacart in several varieties:
- Original. Hemp milk on its own has a slightly nutty flavor. Some manufacturers include added sweeteners in their "original" flavors. If there's an unsweetened alternative from the same brand, there are probably extra sugars in the original option.
- Unsweetened. Unsweetened hemp milk is free from added sweeteners, which can result in a slightly blander taste. This is a good choice when you want to use hemp milk as an ingredient for baking or cooking rather than as a standalone beverage.
- Vanilla. As the name suggests, this version of hemp milk has added vanilla flavoring, which blends well with the milk's natural flavor.
- Chocolate. If you love chocolate milk, you'll enjoy chocolate hemp milk just as much. This creamy beverage is very similar to dairy-based chocolate milk but with slightly nutty overtones.
- Coconut. Coconut hemp milk isn't necessarily flavored heavily with coconut, but it does contain coconut milk, which can sweeten the beverage.
- Oat. Oat hemp milk features both oat milk and hemp milk. This doesn't have a significant impact on the flavor. This blend is an appealing option when you want the health benefits of both hemp and oats.
About hemp milk
Hemp milk has fewer calories, carbohydrates, and protein than dairy milk. It has a comparable amount of fat, but most of the fat in hemp milk comes from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are healthy unsaturated alternatives to many of the fats in dairy milk. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can help support a healthy brain and may even reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. These fatty acids also strengthen your immune system and support healthy skin.
Hemp seeds naturally contain arginine, which will produce nitric acid in your body. This nitric acid relaxes the blood vessels, promotes healthy blood pressure, and helps lower your risk of heart disease.
Hemp milk can also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, many of which are added by the manufacturer. Check the label for healthy ingredients like:
- Calcium. Hemp milk is naturally high in calcium and contains about the same amount as dairy milk.
- Vitamin A. This vitamin supports your immune system, vision, bone health, heart, and other organs.
- Vitamin D. Some hemp milk products are fortified with vitamin D to support healthy bones and teeth.
- Vitamin B12. B12 supports healthy blood.
- Iron. Hemp seeds are naturally high in iron which supports digestion, energy levels, and the immune system.
- Zinc. Zinc is naturally present in hemp seeds and strengthens the immune system.
- Magnesium. Magnesium reduces insulin resistance, supports healthy blood pressure, and may help fight depression.
How long does hemp milk last?
Unopened, you can store hemp milk in the pantry for about a month, or until the best by date on the packaging. You must refrigerate hemp milk once you've opened the container. This milk is typically good for 7 to 10 days after opening, so purchase a carton size that contains the amount of hemp milk you can use within this time frame.

FAQs about hemp milk
Hemp milk is made from the seeds of the hemp plant, which do not contain any CBD. CBD is only found in the flowers and buds of female cannabis and hemp plants. The brand Good Hemp has released a version of hemp milk in the UK that contains CBD from the inclusion of hemp leaf extract. However, this is not typical of hemp milk products and would be indicated on the label. Hemp milk contains virtually no THC and will not cause any psychotropic effects.
Hemp milk does not make you sleepy the way that THC can. However, the omega-3 fatty acids in hemp milk may improve your sleep. These fatty acids can increase the level of melatonin in your body, which is a crucial hormone for regulating sleep patterns. The Journal of Sleep Research indicates that getting more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet can help you gain as much as an hour of sleep each night.
