hemp milk

i only learnt this like 3 weeks ago but since then i have been making a ton of it. hemp milk.
it is just non-psychoactive hemp seeds, blended with water in a strong blender.
i have made the experience: if a blender is chosen that is too weak, it will not pulverize the hard shell enough so then there will be hard little bits in the end result. some people then filter the bits out with little cotton bags. i dunno why don't they just use coffee filters, do coffee filters ruin the taste maybe? coffee filters are awesome, i use coffee filters to clean the soap that i use for cleaning skateboard bearings so that i can reuse the soap over and over.
anyways i think having to filtrate the end product is too annoying so i am glad i have a strong blender, though lately i wish for one that is even stronger. there are really cool commercial blenders that have a sound dampening lid that can be closed by the user. i wish those would have more manual controls. i hate these blenders where i can't just gently dial the speed in with a round knob. fuck those blenders with the pre-defined speed levels, they feel like baby toys.
here is the recipe range i found i like:
3-4 tablespoons hempseeds for 400-700ml water.
>first i throw everything in and blend for ~45 seconds maximum strength on the blender
>then i wait around being handsome for 10 minutes as to give the hemp seeds a chance to soak because i suspect this makes them easier to crack open
>last step is blend again full power ~45 seconds
that's hemp milk. and then i usually put one or more of those extras in:
>few drops of maple syrup
>1-5 dates
>1-3 table spoons of raw coco powder
>1 handful of actual raw coco beans
(those are too expensive for me, i don't think i can buy them again)
>a short piece of actual vanilla bean
>1 banana
>a handful of red raspberry
it is delicious, i would have loved to hear about that sooner but nobody on this chan wrote about it. i used to use coconut milk for everything but obviously this is much more convenient to use then having to keep buying cans and cans of coconut milk.

this one is 2200w and has a cover that is supposed to make it not as loud. probably way better then mine.
mine is 1500w and it is extra loud...
what i hate about this one is the interface. it has different speed levels and programmable functions and i don't want those. i just want a speed control knob and an on-off button but those are rare and usually expensive.

this is one i think is nice too
>has just a speed control knob
>big container 2,5 liter
>1600w is not that much though, that's almost as weak as mine
>no sound reduction technology, i use mine a few times a day some days

+hard to believe how little this one costs.
+very strong 2200w
+no display
+speed control with a knob, hopefully very fine-tuneable
+even has a little manual timer after which it goes off automatically
-container is only 2 liter, that's not enough for batch cooking
-doesn't have the tamper
-doesn't have the sound shield.
-round container means harder to clean
-important gears probably not metal
-my guess is that it's loud

this would be perfect to replace my small glass blender. i looked at another blender for small sizes by tristar, which has a very weak ~200w motor that can use some glass jars but it seems like this one has variable speed up to 1000w and a wide compatibility to existing twist glasses.

this is disappointing. 2 speed settings. full speed and half speed -_-
otherwise nice machine, very expensive but widely compatible with spare containers and they even sell extra blades.

i was checking my favorite glass website to see which kind of 82mm (TO82) threaded glasses they are selling and it turns out they are selling a little vacuum device.
if i could find vacuum lids that i can use with this blender, this might be my entry into the vacuum game.
i'd be surprised if you heard about it but in the deep veganism, some people are so advanced that they don't even blend like you and me anymore because it oxidizes the food too much. so they have vacuum-creating lids for popular blenders so they can create vacuums while they blend.

while this open source blender is rather expensive, the glasses it can use as chambers are not.
0,40€ for a little container is nothing. a lid costs 0,20€. i would probably try to get 10-20 of those glasses in different sizes with the same TO82 threading and interchangable lids, all compatible with the blender and then i could always pick a fitting size for every sauce, nutbutter, salsa, flour or herb i was mixing.
the entire array of 20 variously sized blending containers would then cost me ~15€. i would have so many containers, i would make little sauce cups when i make meal prep salad for a week. they would contain all the ingredients for a sauce but not blended yet and then when i would eat the salad, i would take one of the little containers, freshly blend the salsa and it would be way fresher, especially when i would have bothered to vacuum seal the sauce containers.
this seems like a way better approach to blending then what i currently have.

this dude is using the tribest blender. i made this screenshot because i was in awe of the usefulness a blender with plenty of interchangable containers like that could be. if mason jars were easy to get here, i would have probably already bought a tribest blender.
it is an interesting blender because it has been around for a long time and it's motor is very weak, still it gets the job done. in this video i have seen for the first time the possibility of having a small blender hat uses generic cheap containers and how useful this can be.
interesting dude btw. he very much believes in juice fasting (so do i) and talks about what an intense life changing magical experience it is and while he talks mad shit about how great juice fasting is, i have yet to hear him say anything that isn't true in my experience.

there is this deep vegan youtube channel called OKRAW and the dude is probably more knowledgable on vegan gadgetry then anyone else. i have been avoiding his vacuum blending videos for a while now but i better look at them tomorrow because i might want my next blender to be able to do this so i better learn about this now.

i just tried to pour my cocoa-hempmilk through a coffee filter and it just would not filter.
the liquid stayed in the coffee filter, completely unwilling to pass. i didn't know liquids could refuse the coffee filter that easily.
so far i don't think the taste was altered through the contact with the filterpaper.
i poured out from the defeated coffee filter and through a little strainer and turns out most of the particles that annoyed me, could pass through that strainer. maybe i can find finer strainers. professional cooks might have a large array of differently strong strainers.
i moved my strainers right above the sink so never search for them and now i keep playing with them and trying to use them for stupid shit.

challenger appears!
this one is made by a company that made lids that fit existing popular blenders, suspiciously no longer available on amazon, probably because it was too healthy and amazon doesn't want people to be healthy necessarily.

this vacuum blender shows the strength of vacuum:
>80kPa
i am beginning to suspect this might be important. i watch videos of the juice dude explaining his experience with vacuum technology and air is not necessarily when it comes to blending. i blend my food because i want to be healthy and rapid blending with air might ruin the food a little bit.

bosch makes a vacuum blender though. i really like their washing machine that i have but i stopped respecting them when their cordless tool system was seperated into two different batteries that are not compatible with each other.

probably going with this one so i can experience good vacuum blending. gonna be my main smoothie and nut milk maker. also i can use this to vacuum juice (!!!) with the help of a plastic nutmilk bag. it seems to have the best vacuum mechanism (2 pumps for extra speed!), it has variable speed control with a knob and i enjoy the simple square design of the container. this will replace my regular big cheap blender.
the vacuum part is just a lid that is awkwardly charged once a month with a wireless charger.

to replace my smaller sauce maker blender (a cheap but useful 500ml blender in a wide glass container) i will probably go for the open source blender that accepts any glass with the 82mm (TO82) threading, which btw is commonly found in glasses of pickled vegetables in the supermarket.
also i will get the little usb device that i can use to vacuum seal glasses of stuff i already made. too bad i can't use this to create a vacuum before i blend when the blade is twisted on but i am hopeful that i will find a way. maybe i can use this little things and make some modifications, maybe i can modify the blade attachment to also create vacuum. worst case i have to find a way to create vacuum inside a jar that the glass i am blending with the blade attached (which luckily isn't all that big) fit in. i can just create a vacuum around the entire glass and blade assembly to create a vacuum inside the blending chamber. i am hopeful to find a way.
350€ big blender with vacuum
350€ small blender without vacuum
50€ extra vacuum thingy for the small blender
20€ plenty of small glasses
??€ additional vacuum things
~770€. now that's expensive but i if that is how i am gonna eat from now on, i want the good tools to make this as smooth sailing as i can. after having upgraded my small place i live at with so much practical stuff; i very much believe investment in personal infrastructure is highest priority. the place i live is like a good organized tool box but not just for tools, for everything.

drinking the hemp milk again. i added a centimeter of real vanilla bean and lots of dates. dates are perfect for smoothies, it was like 3 years ago that i ate my first date ever XD
also i did fresh coconut milk today. bashed it open with a hammer, scooped out the young coconutmeat and blended it with the coconut water but this time i added (raw) cocoa powder and a bit of water and a date but this kind of drowned the nice coconut flavor. not doing that again. i wanted the fresh coconut milk to add to a curry but i realized i just rather have the fresh coconut milk then the curry 😅

>don't have enough energy to reply. but please never stop posting.
man i hated not having much energy. it took me a few years to getting used to having so much energy, i am starting to get the hang of using it. when i first had so much energy, i literally was habitually lazy and could not "use" it, i had no mental framework of what to do when there is energy. how to spend it.
im still keeping myself busy. made cauliflower rice for the first time in the food processor today. turned it into a curry stew, tasted boring at first, then i cooked it for an hour longer on low, added just a bit of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil and now it's quite tasty. is a breeze to use cauliflower in this food processor and turn it into rice in literally 3 seconds. still feeling fortunate for this gift from the street.
also i ordered the little open source blender. i can't wait to use it because what this new blender will improve is making small portions and then using the glass to store it in WITHOUT TRANSFER INTO ANOTHER AND THEN CLEANING THE OVERSIZED MIXING CONTAINER PLUS THE SPOON THAT I HADE TO USE TO TRANSFER.
now it just spawns into a small, easier to clean little container. for someone who prepares almost every meal myself, this means reducing dish washing for every thing i produce by like 80%. cleaning up after making a glass of something took 5 minutes, with the new blender it will take 1 minute or even less.
i made a paper box today (looks wonderfully homeless) and i glued a little pen-case to it with double-sided gel-tape that i bought at the supermarket. i love playing with tools.
i'm so glad i spend my life improving and caring about self-help books and shit like that. seems like aging is quite the uncomfortable process for those who don't. oh well.
