Recipe 1 -

Ingredients:

1 cup Shelled Hemp Seeds

5-6 cups Water

Combine the water and the Shelled Hemp Seed in a blender. You can create the desired thickness by using more or less water(from coffee creamer consistency to skim).

Blend on high for 2 -3 minutes, or until creamy and smooth.

To sweeten add: 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.

Makes: 6-7 cups Prep Time: 2 min

*****************************************

“WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP AND MARIJUANA?

The big difference between hemp and marijuana is the seeds from which it is grown.
Hemp cannot get you “high” as industrial hemp seeds have very minimal THC levels (the psychoactive ingredient), typically less than 0.3%. Canada’s hemp production is regulated by Health Canada through a licensing program where farms that grow hemp are inspected and the crop is tested to ensure the THC levels are below 0.3%.”

*****************************************

Recipe #2-

Hemp Milk (yields about 4 cups)

1 cup shelled hemp seeds
3 cups filtered water
3-4 tbsp coconut nectar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp soy/sunflower lecithin (optional, but it will help keep the texture smooth, which is important since you’re not straining this one)

Blend all ingredients on high till they are very, very smooth. Enjoy!

Recipe #3 – Lighter

LIGHTER HEMP MILK
Yield: 6 cups
This is a pleasant-tasting, light, white milk for drinking and cooking.

For a longer-lasting milk, make the recipe in a soymilk maker that can be used with grains and seeds, such as the SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P. See the recipe for using the SoyQuick below.

3 cups cold boiled or purified water
1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds (sometimes called “hemp nuts”)
3 more cups cold boiled or purified water
2 tablespoons coconut nectar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment: (scald everything with boiling water to sanitize before using)
1 blender
1 sieve or strainer
1/ 2 qt. pot or bowl that the strainer will fit into
1 square of clean white sheeting to line the strainer, with some overhang
1 whisk
2/ 3-4 cup mason jars with a tight lid, or a 6-cup glass jug with a lid

Place the strainer or sieve inside of a pot or bowl, so that it rests on the edge and there is enough room underneath it to hold 6 cups liquid with some room to spare.

Place the first 3 cups water and shelled hemp seeds in the blender and blend on high speed for about 2 minutes.

Pour the blended mixture into your strainer set-up. Let it drip for a few minutes, then bring the cloth up and twist it, squeezing and twisting and “milking” the cloth gently until all of the liquid is released. You should be left with a thin coating of greenish pulp on the inside of the cloth, which you can rinse off.

To the hemp milk in the bowl or pot, add the second 3 cups of water, the agave nectar and salt,and whisk well. Pour the hemp milk into the jar, cover and refrigerate. The milk will separate in the refrigerator– just shake the jar well before using.

Recipe #4-

Vegan Hempnog

• 1 quart Vanilla Hemp milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp rum extract
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp tumeric

In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients; blend thoroughly stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Serve chilled in festive glasses with a little extra nutmeg or cinnamon sprinkled lightly on top. (Serves 10)

Recipe #5 -

• 1 Large Frozen Ripe Banana, broken into chunks (about 1 cup chunks)
• 1/2 Cup Blackberries
• 3/4 Cup Vanilla  Hempmilk
• 2 Romaine Lettuce Leaves
• 1/2 Tablespoon Flaxseeds, optional (I pre-grind them in a spice grinder)
• 1/8 Teaspoon Cinnamon, optional
• Sweetener to Taste, optional (only needed if your fruit isn’t very ripe – I skip it)

Place all ingredients in your blender, and whiz until smooth and creamy. If needed, add sweetener to taste. If desired, thin with more milk alternative. Sometimes I use just ½ cup of Tempt for a thicker, spoon-able shake.

Wimply Blender Tips: Make sure the fresh fruit is closest to the blender blades with any frozen fruit on top. This helps the blades to move more freely. Also, start with less liquid, about ½ cup, adding more only as needed at first. A thicker blend will ensure that all of the bits are blended in. Once everything is pureed, you can add more hempmilk until it reaches your desired consistency.

Makes 1 generous serving

#6 -Hemp  Green Smoothie In the World

In a blender just dump:

• Whatever greens are on sale (seriously you can’t go wrong)
• 1 frozen banana
• t Hempmilk (just enough to get the blender going, add more if you prefer a thinner consistency)
• For a “superfood” boost add any of the following: goji berries (soak them first for a few hours), cacao powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon, spirulina power or hemp seeds

A few tips:

• If you can’t find a good sale on fresh greens then add some frozen spinach
• If you prefer a sweeter smoothie add the following:
• More frozen bananas
• A tsp of stevia or 1-2 TBS of agave nectar or a few pre-soaked dates (remove pits before blending)
• If you really love bitter greens use dandelion, which is an amazing liver cleanser
• If you really hate greens go with a bunch of chopped romaine lettuce

Vanilla Almond Sugar Cookies: Another Creative Use for Almond Milk Pulp!
via Choosing Raw – vegan and raw recipes by Gena on 2/27/12
Vanilla Almond Sugar Cookies (mostly raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free)

Makes 18-22 cookies

1 1/4 cups almond milk pulp
6-8 soaked and pitted medjool dates (adjust to suit your own sweetness preference; 6 was fine for me)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond or coconut flour
1 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
Dash sea salt

1) Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until the “dough” is the same texture and consistency of sugar cookie dough. You may need to add a little more flour, but start with the given amount.

2) Work dough into the cookie press canister, select a cookie shape, and seal the press. Onto a Teflex-lined dehydrator sheet, press as many cookies as the dough will make; I had about 20.

3) Dehydrate the cookies at 115 degrees for 8 hours, flipping once through (if you dehydrate these overnight and don’t flip, it’s also fine).

Oven option: Preheat oven to 350 degrees before you get started. Bake cookies for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, and allow to cool before digging in!

Take a moment to observe how sweet they are: http://www.choosingraw.com/vanilla-almond-sugar-cookies-another-creative-use-for-almond-milk-pulp/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ChoosingRaw+%28Choosing+Raw%29

Cancer: Rice and Soy Milk / Casein
by Dr. Flora van Orden III

Studies showed that casein, a protein in all milk products (and even used in many ‘soy’ and ‘rice’ cheeses) increased cancer 100% of the time when introduced at any stage of cancer development…. cancer growth could be reversed as well as expanded and contracted just by changing the amounts of animal protein consumed… no danger when plant proteins were eaten, even at higher percentages.

For the first 27 years of his career, Dr. Campbell’s [T. Colin Campbell, MD, PhD, The China Study] studies, exposing the deleterious health effects of meat and dairy foods, were funded largely by the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research. Campbell published in many of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals.

The U.S. healthcare system showed disinterest in his earth-shaking findings (does this remind you of what happened to Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, head of the Nobel Committee, who successfully went to China when no one would go to his press conferences in NY or DC hailing his success with cancer?), so Campbell pursued the Chinese government, together with Oxford University, and established further research that definitively exposed the catastrophic effects that meat and dairy foods have on human health globally.

Dr. Campbell’s work was published in 1990 in a scientific compilation named “China Study.” These profound findings jolted the world of nutritional science, yet due to the extensive influence of corporate interests in the media, this invaluable information never reached the general public; thus, little changed.

Moved by a desire to touch a suffering humanity with these simple yet revealing findings, Dr. Campbell, along with his son, Thomas, recently published a beautifully edited and easily understood book called The China Study, which shares the discoveries of nearly four decades. It will provide you with the necessary ‘scientific evidence’ that so many adversaries in medicine claim is missing from our advocation of a plant-based diet.

“Sick and Tired” and “Reclaim your Inner Terrain”, p 92-94, Dr. Robert O. Young… 10. Avoid alcohol, 11. Avoid All Products Containing Caffeine, 12. Avoid Peanuts and Peanut Products (about 35 years ago, in Africa, clusters of patients presented an unusual type of liver cancer, and the numbers were very large. Investigation revealed a relationship to the consumption of peanuts.) 13. Avoid Corn and Corn Products. Like peanuts, corn is poisonous and carcinogenic. In our opinion, there is no specimen of corn free of mycotoxin. Researchers have reported the positive correlation of corn (and wheat flour) and death from esophageal cancer; corn, with gastric cancer. 15. Avoid Heated Oils at All Costs. 16. Avoid All Microwave Food. PERIOD. 17. Wheat grass is 25% protein. Has 100% more laetrile than sprouts… 23. Sweat Your Way to Radiant Health.

“The therapeutic value of regular sweating has become immense. It has benefits for both body and mind, and, in fact, is the primary reason for exercise.” After 30 minutes of sweating, large amounts of toxins, including toxic acids and heavy metals, are flushed from the body. Sweating inhibits the development of pleomorphic microforms and creates a “fever reaction” of rising temperatures that neutralizes them. Increases the number of leukocytes. Need to re-mineralize and re-trace-mineralize with rinsed dulse after sweating. Don’t block the fever/sweat by eating cooked food.
