Is a change of diet on your radar? This Healthy Hemp Heart Clean Green Smoothie is for you. Dairy free, gluten free and sugar free. Get your New Year’s resolutions started in the right direction.

Healthy eating is my new plan. How about you? I know I am looking to change my diet. Thank god the major holiday eating only happens once a year. Yes, I know we have other holidays to celebrate, but let’s be honest, we don’t overeat during those as much.

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). We did get some snow shoes for Christmas. Snow is falling, now I just have to wait for the temperatures to warm up (great for the penguins and polar bears). This has been the coldest winter in over 30 years. Wait, it has only been winter for 3 weeks. OMG!!!

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. What do you call them? Hemp hearts or 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 clean eating 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 Spilt Breakfast keeps his sweet tooth at bay.

So much nutrition with really no effort. I wish exercising was this easy.  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 makes this smoothie great for any time of day. You won’t believe how calorie wise it is too.

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.

  23. I love the flavor combination of strawberries and spinach in salad, but it honestly never occurred to me to use those same ingredients in a smoothie! What a great way to pack the vitamins into your morning!

  25. When did hemp hearts go mainstream? I didn’t realize it was a commercial thing and that it went global. I personally haven’t used this ingredient much yet, not even sure if we can get that in package form sold in the store. Your smoothie does look delicious and inviting. 🙂

  36. This sounds delicious and so colorful! I can probably make this now. I think I have all the ingredients except for hemp heart. I guess I can leave them out for now until I make that run to the grocery store!

  37. That’s such a beautiful color! I used to have chocolate protein powder & strawberry smoothies every day for lunch. I found the strawberry covered up any odd flavors. I’ll have to track down done hemp hearts and dig out my blender!

  40. I love smoothies. I had it every morning for months, until I moved to minnesota and it got really cold…. now all I want is soup all day long lol. I’ve never had hemp hearts, it sounds awesome and seriously needed right now for some post holiday cleanse. I may need to go make myself a smoothie right now.

    • They are so easy to add to all kinds of recipes…or just a snack. Wish it was strawberry season here.

  45. Strawberries and spinach is one of my favorite smoothie combos, so this sounds so good! And I’ve never added hemp hearts to a smoothie before. What a good idea!

  46. This looks so crisp and refreshing! I’ve never had hemp hearts, but I’ve heard how healthy they are. I should give them a try with this recipe! It would benefit me greatly in the new year if I ate (or drank, in this case) something for breakfast.

  50. I absolutely agree with you – smoothies are the easiest way to get nutritious foods in your body. I have to say I hadn’t heard of hemp hearts before but will definitely be looking for them next time I go shopping. Thanks for the inspiration!

    • Yes I have used them in cookies, like the Hemp Heart Cookies linked in the post. Also as a topper of salad, yogurt, oatmeal. So many ways too enjoy them.

    • Really? You don’t even taste the spinach, the apple and strawberries do a great job here.

  57. Your pictures are lovely. They make green and healthy look fantastic haha. I can def use some healthier food in the new year so this is going to be on my to do list.

  59. I’ve been drinking green smoothies for years now- like way before it was trendy. People used to look at me as if I was drinking the most disgusting thing on the planet. This recipe looks fantastic!
