Hemp Milk Popsicle

A couple of weeks ago I found a recipe for for coconut milk ice cream and thought that I would give it a try. While I was shopping for the coconut milk I decided to pick-up some hemp milk also. Tried the coconut milk ice cream a few different ways and was still not happy with the results ( I am still working on that one) so I switched to the hemp milk. Everyone loved it! After having made it a few times I decided to put it into popsicle molds because after freezing scooping can be difficult with an ice cream containing little fat.

Hemp milk is not only a delicious alternative to dairy milk it is full of healthy benefits such as;

A natural source of balanced Omega 3 oils
Provides all the amino acids producing a quility protien
Excellent source of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D as well as many of the B vitamins
Free from lactose, cholesterol, soy, and gluten
No refined sugar

Recipe;

2 cups Hemp Milk
3 teaspoons honey or brown rice syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla

Mix all ingredients together and chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 24 hours before serving or add into an ice cream maker and for manufacturer directions. 

I hope that you too will enjoy this healthy fun snack!
