Do I need to strain hemp milk?
Hemp milk is similar to almond milk, it doesn’t require straining although it would make it smoother. Since hemp pulverizes completely in the blender, it makes the milk thick and creamy. There might be bits of pulp at the bottom of your glass, but it’s not a huge issue. If you prefer a smoother consistency, feel free to strain the milk with a nut milk bag.
