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.

I always saw hemp heart packets in the grocery stores but never picked them, since I didn’t know what to make out of them. Now I know. My 4 year old loves smoothies and I keep trying new recipes for her and rest of us. Trying this recipe soon. She will love it.

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!

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. 🙂

What an original smoothie. Sometimes I overlook the ones with almond milk, banana, strawberry. How much thought does that take. I like the addition of the spinach leaves. I am on a quest to find hemp hearts.
