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 green hemp smoothie recipe, 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.
Even my hubby who 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 Heart 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. You can even buy hemp protein powder and hemp milk too.
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.
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 and Pomegranates might be just what you are looking for. Nutrition can be delicious.
We are always looking for healthy snacks. Homemade granola bars are perfect for after school, packing in lunch boxes, or taking on hikes.
