Manitoba Harvest Hemp Milk Review
Before I tell you about the health benefits of hemp milk, I?m going to give you some background on Manitoba Harvest. Manitoba Harvest is a green company with strong roots in the eco-friendly, environmentally sound and sustainable world. The offices run on 100% recycled paper products.
The products are packaged in recyclable or reusable packaging. The products are pesticide free and certified organic too.
As for the Hemp Milk, it is quite different from what I was expecting. It?s actually very nutty and reminds me of the soymilk I made from scratch. I drank the Original and next up is Chocolate. I?m not giving up on the milk, but it?s not for everyone. It?s definitely an acquired taste, but it?s full of rich healthy antioxidants, essential vitamins, and Omega acids. Each serving contains 5 grams of protein and is very low in fat.
Manitoba Harvest does not just produce Hemp Milk, they also produce shelled hemp nuts, hemp seed oil and hemp protein powder.
Manitobaharvest.com contains more information, locators and an online store too.

[…] my mind when describing the Chocolate Hemp Milk. As I stated earlier in the original article about Orginal Hemp Milk, it is an acquired […]
As someone who only uses soy milk on cereal, I found this brand of hemp milk for $1 a carton and had to give it a try. "Bliss" is not the correct word for it, in my opinion.
It was barely tolerable on Cheerios, and produced such a gag reflex on Corn Flakes that I could only eat half a bowl. It has a grassy aftertaste (what did I expect?) and a hint of that silage smell you pick up while traveling in farm country.
If you drink it straight from a glass and slam it down fast enough, you can avoid "savoring" the full flavor, and just deal with it briefly at the end. But the taste comes up again in your throat for another 5-10 minutes (without chasing it with something, that is). After that there's still a slight oily feeling in the gut. I'd definitely eat something absorbent soon after.
Unless they find a way to neutralize the aftertaste, I have no plans to use it on cereal again. It tastes a lot like you'd expect "weed" seeds to taste, so at least it's an honest product.
