The ingredients for Cashew-hemp milk are:

0.75 cup Nuts, Cashews, Raw (2/3 cup)
5 tbsp Hemp Hearts- raw shelled hemp seeds (1/4 cup)
3 dates, pitted (Medjool dates)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
0.25 tsp Salt
4 cup (8 fl oz) Water for blending

Here is how you make Cashew-hemp milk:

Soak the cashews and dates 2-4 hours, although longer is fine. If you soak them overnight, then don't have time to use them, change the water. Drain the nuts and dates and process in a Vitamix or in your blender on high with all the other ingredients until smooth. Drink as is to get all the natural fiber or filter through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag for a smoother consistency. Omit/reduce the dates if you just want the nut milk as a base -- the dates add about 50 calories. Add more dates if you like a sweeter milk. Dates are healthy, but you can substitute stevia, agave, honey or any sweetener to taste. If you like the flavor, add banana for sweetening.The vanilla taste is light, but omit the vanilla if you need an unflavoured milk.Of course, if you're watching sodium, omit the salt.Serving Size:?makes 4.5 cups, divide into 4 servings
