Hemp is pretty much the miracle plant. You can make a tote bag from the fibers and use the oil to make lotion. You can even eat the seeds or use them to make hemp milk. I cannot get enough of hemp! Here are some of my favorite ways to use it in my cruelty-free lifestyle.
1. Hemp Underwear
Durable, soft, sustainable, and with antimicrobial properties, hemp underwear will keep you feeling fabulous. Try the ones from WAMA Underwear.
2. MonaLisa Healing CBD Tincture
This tincture is made using only the purest sourced ingredients to ensure that you have the best hemp extract possible, with no fillers. Hemp CBD can be used to improve sleep and mood and decrease inflammation, pain, and anxiety. Medical research shows that it has a positive interaction with the endocannabinoid system in the bodies of humans and other animals, so it’s safe for your animal companions, too!
3. Peace Cereal’s Maple Buckwheat Hemp
This exciting and delicious new cereal has 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. The ingredients are all non-GMO, organic, and vegan, so what are you waiting for?
4. Daily Greens’ Hemp Milks
These hemp seed–infused juices offer a wide variety of nutrients from ingredients such as blue-green algae and wheatgrass. The cold-pressed hemp seeds are a complete protein, contain omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, and are full of calcium and iron. Give cold-pressed hemp milk a try for a non-GMO, gluten- and soy-free protein punch.
5. Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap
This liquid soap is made with organic hemp oil, which must be why it feels incredible on my skin—that and the fact that it’s not tested on animals.
6. Got hemp milk?
Sure, we’ve all heard of soy milk and almond milk, but I think it’s time to make hemp milk a staple.
7. Hemp hummus
Can you say super-food? Hemp is loaded with protein, and this hummus is the perfect snack!
