This morning was strawberry-themed, as a huge box of strawberries in the fridge was on its last legs. Easy breakfast of raisin bran…

Vlad hates raisins, so I actually pick out the raisins out of his cereal, and put them back in the box. True love!

As I am out of rice milk, HEMP was the next milk substitute on the list. Yes, hemp comes from a Cannabis plant. No, it won’t get you high. Hemp and marijuana come from two different varieties of the same plant, and the hemp plant has less than 1%  THC (the psychoactive substance), while marijuana plant has 10 to 20% THC. This is similar to how certain milk beverages have very low levels of alcohol (e.g. kumis), but not enough to get intoxicated.

Two hemp milks were squaring off:

I’m sorry to say that I hated them both. I think it was mostly the question of texture – they were not as smooth as rice or almond milks. Interestingly, hemp milks also tend to be much more expensive than more mainstream varieties, so I think I will stick to other milks from now on.

The fact that I still had my morning coffee is more of a testament to my love of coffee… hemp milk was just BLECH in it…

Strawberry love!

After adding hemp milk, this did not look very appetizing at all…
