How To Make A Hemp Heart Green Smoothie
It doesn’t get easier than throwing everything in a blender. Blitz, pour, and drink! Easy as 1-2-3. So much nutrition with really no effort.
For this clean and green hemp super smoothie, I combined:
- spinach
- apples
- strawberries
- hemp hearts
- water
- ice
Spinach is such an awesome green superfood, and it makes this low-calorie smoothie such a nice colour.
Fibre from the apple, sweetness from the strawberries, and plant-based 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!
Even my hubby who LOVES (and I mean LOVES) sweet stuff didn’t even need any additional sweetener. He is such a dessert person. Thank goodness my breakfast banana split keeps his sweet tooth at bay.
Best Greens For Smoothies
This is where you can have some variety. I used spinach but don’t stop there. Other great options would be:
- kale
- Swiss chard
- romaine lettuce
- beet greens
- collard greens
- celery
You can also switch out the fruit in this wholesome smoothie recipe. Any type of berry is great. Try swapping out the apples for pears.
Hemp Benefits
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.
They contain omega 3, omega 6 (GLA), fibre, protein, arginine, phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamin E, and magnesium.
Do Hemp Hearts Have CBD?
No, they do not. CBD lives in the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, not in the seeds. Hemp oil is not the same as CBD oil, which contains cannabinoids.
