- 1–2 tablespoons coconut cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Blend the base
Add hemp seeds and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. This usually takes 1–2 minutes.
Step 2: Add flavor
Add lemon juice, salt, and coconut cream. Blend again until fully combined. The lemon juice gives that slight tangy yogurt taste.
Step 3: Adjust texture
If it’s too thick, add a little more water. If too thin, blend in a bit more hemp seeds.
Step 4: Optional sweetness
Add vanilla extract and a keto-friendly sweetener if you prefer a sweeter version of your Vegan Keto Hemp Seed Yogurt.
Step 5: Chill
Transfer to a bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps it thicken and taste even better.
