If you are looking for smoothie recipes without yogurt, this vegan green smoothie is for YOU!
Healthy eating is my new plan. How about you? I know I am looking to change my diet. Have you heard about the PLANETARY DIET? Hemp hearts fit right into this “Save The Planet” way of eating.
If you are like me, smoothies are a great, easy way to get tasty nutrition into your body. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and also after a workout (another area I need to focus on). Eating healthy is the EASY part. I wish making low calorie smoothies was part of the “work out”, I could do this all day long LOL.
HEALTHY HEMP HEART FACTS
Have you tried hemp hearts? Little nutritious gems packed with protein. A great way to get an energy boost. Easy to add to recipes or just eat as a snack on their own. They come in a variety of flavours too. Hemp hearts vs hemp seeds? Whichever you choose, adding them to your healthy eating is easy and delicious.
This Healthy Hemp Heart Clean Green Smoothie is so easy to make. With no added dairy, gluten or sugar, clean eating is simple and delicious. It doesn’t get easier than throwing everything in a blender. Blitz, pour and drink! Easy as 1-2-3. Let’s see if I can figure out a way to make exercise this easy too.
For this healthy green smoothie, I combined spinach, apple, strawberries, hemp hearts, water and ice. I know, simple right? Even my hubby who LOVES (and I mean LOVES) sweet stuff didn’t even need any additional sweetener. Good thing, he wasn’t going to get any either. If I can do this, so can he. We are in this together whether he likes it or not. He is such a dessert person. Thank goodness my Healthy Banana Split Breakfast keeps his sweet tooth at bay.
So much nutrition with really no effort. Spinach is such an awesome green superfood, and it makes this smoothie such a nice colour. Fibre from the apple, sweetness from the strawberries, and protein from the hemp hearts make this simple smoothie recipe great for any time of day. You won’t believe how calorie wise it is too. Green smoothies are GREAT for weight loss!
HEMP HEART RECIPES
I have used hemp hearts in other recipes too. With Valentine’s just around the corner, you don’t have to throw your new found healthy eating out the window. My Hemp Heart Cookies are perfect to celebrate with. Gluten-free delicious cookies dipped in dark chocolate.
If you want to start your day with chocolate (like many people do), Hemp Chocolate Smoothie with Raspberries & Pomegranates might be just what you are looking for. Nutrition can be totally delicious.
Lots of people associate healthy eating with bland and boring. Add in the term “clean eating” and watch people scatter. In fact, we have a friend who detested the thought of eating this way. That same friend has now lost major pounds (and feels so much better) making smart eating choices.
Healthy Hemp Heart Clean Green Smoothie is a positive step in the right direction. So much delicious nutrition packed into a glass. Hope you give this low-calorie green smoothie a try.

Can I sub the hemp hearts with hemp powder?

Sure I think that would work just fine. You may want to adjust the amount. ENJOY!

I’ve never come across hemp hearts before but I’m going to keep my eyes peeled because I am a smoothie for breakfast kind of girl. This recipe looks clean, healthy, and most importantly delicious! Also a great way to use up that pint of strawberries sitting in my fridge right now!

This smoothie is packed full of nutrition. The perfect start to your day.

Love this green smoothie. I find I can be pretty liberal with my greens- so I use about 2 cups, then flollow the recipe from there on. I had frozen strawberries and withheld the ice. Even a half an apple worked well as it was a fairly large apple. Thanks for a great recipe!
Homemade & Yummy
Lots of play with this recipe for sure. ENJOY!

So many “green” smoothies are so packed full of bananas, yogurt, and peanut butter that they’re more calories than a typical meal. I love that this is such a healthy, low calorie way to start the day.

Yes sometimes smoothies are very calorie dense…this is just the opposite, yet so nutritious.
Sam | Ahead of Thyme
Wow this green smoothie looks so fresh and yummy! Loving the flavours you have put together in here. I haven’t tried hemp hearts, so will need to pick some up. Can’t wait to try this for breakfast soon!
