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.
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.

I definitely need more hemp hearts in my life! We bought a bag of them from Costco a while back and I could never figure out enough stuff to do with them. I love how creamy they make this smoothie though. Maybe we’ll get ourselves another bag. 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
Yup, we get them at Costco too…very affordable for sure.
Krista Price
Ya know, I actually spotted a very affordable bag of hemp hearts at Aldi yesterday, but I didn’t grab it because I had no clue what to do with them! Dangit! Guess I’m heading back to the store, so I can make this smoothie ASAP! 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
Well, there you go. Now you know…but there are LOTS of ways to use them. I can eat them by the handful for a quick and nutritious snack too.
Annissa
Hemp hearts are my new favorite thing to sprinkle over yogurt and on salads. I hadn’t thought to try them in a smoothie until now. What a healthy and flavorful way to get some added nutrition.
Homemade & Yummy
No protein powder needed when you have yourself a bag of hemp hearts.
Dana
This is right up my alley! I’ve been looking for different green smoothies since I usually stick to my go-to. But a change is nice once in a while, and hemp hearts are so nutritious. I can’t wait to add this to my rotation.
Homemade & Yummy
ENJOY…this is super easy to make and super nutritious to drink.
Stef
I typically like smoothies with yogurt. But, I’m all for trying your yogurt-free smoothie. It sounds great! You cracked me up about wishing smoothie making could be a workout. Maybe, if we used a mortar and pestle and did it all by hand it could count. But, it would probably never get smooth. 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
HAHHA….well that is a thought…and still would be more fun than working out!!
Marisa Franca
This is just the beverage I need to start my day. I’ve been feeling a bit sluggish and the weather certainly hasn’t helped. I’ll be going to our local market that carries lots of fresh fruits and they carry nutritious items such as the hemp hearts. Luckily, we are going to Costco this morning and I’ll check there first.
Homemade & Yummy
This is super easy to make at home, and you can make it exactly the way you like. Get those HEMP HEARTS at Coscto.
Mimi
I don’t think I had an official New Year’s resolutions moment but I do want to have one now! And the first thing I am going to put on the list is: drink more healthy smoothies – just like this one!
Homemade & Yummy
This will help with your resolutions for sure. Healthy eating!!
April
Nice color and healthy – just the type of a smoothie I have been looking for! And having that spinach work its magic is just an incredible bonus that is hard to overestimate.
Homemade & Yummy
I but spinach in as many things as I can…so good.
Carmy
I love a good green smoothie to start off the day! I actually really love throwing in a tbsp of hemp hearts in my smoothies because they’re so packed with nutrient and don’t alter the taste of the smoothies. I always grab a scoopful of them when I’m at Bulk Barn!
Homemade & Yummy
Yes we love adding hemp hearts to lots of things too.
Maman de sara
I had to google hemp heart, I have learned something today. This smoothie looks very healthy.
Homemade & Yummy
There were a few links in the post that pointed you in the direction of information on hemp hearts. Why did you NOT click those?
Tina
I like smoothies both with and without yogurt. I especially love smoothies that have spinach in it. Its amazing how much spinach you can fit into a smoothie. In fact, I prefer smoothies over salads to get my daily vitamin and fiber fix. I usually use apple juice for sweetness and flavor but I like the idea of the fresh apple better. Apple juice has a lot of sugar and no fiber. Definitely going to try this. Thanks!!
Homemade & Yummy
I love spinach too. The more I can fit into my day the better. This sure makes it easy.
Annemarie
Huh, hemp hearts. This is new to me too! (Basically hemp seeds, yes?) And the Planetary Diet seems in line with the push of the Mediterranean Diet, so I’m on board with that. It’s tough changing though, so thank you for this great healthy, protein filled smoothie recipe which will help me get my day started right! And I totally need to try that chocolate one too. 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
HAHHA….well these are a great way to start your day or fuel you throughout the day. ENJOY!
Jori
I’ve never heard of hemp hearts! Does it help make the smoothie creamy, too, since there’s no yogurt?
Homemade & Yummy
It can for sure make it creamy. Hope you give it a try. The important thing is a GOOD blender.
Linda
I love starting my day with a good smoothie like this. And yes, been secretly adding hemp heart and it makes feel so much better. Will try your combo for breakfast on the go!
Homemade & Yummy
ENJOY…this is a great way to start you day.
