Speaking of healthy, hemp heart cookies are perfect for dessert too.
If you crave chocolate, this smoothie is just what you need. It will satisfy your chocolate craving in a super healthy way.
Instead of using hemp protein powder, harness the goodness of raw hemp seeds.

Substitutions/Recipe Tips
Chocolate milk provides enough sweetness for me. I used 2% milk, but you can certainly replace it with 1%, or even swap it out for non-dairy milk. Chocolate oat milk is delicious. Hemp milk is a great choice too.
Sweetener if needed can be agave, honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
Fresh berries can be replaced with frozen berries. You can even switch up the berries. Try blueberries or strawberries.
Cocoa can be replaced with cacao or black cocoa.
Hemp Heart FAQ
Yes! Full of protein, healthy fats and fibre, hemp seeds are a great addition to any recipe.
Check out this article on nutrition facts.
They have a very mild taste and creamy texture. Not overpowering at all. Similar to the taste of pine nuts. You can also slightly toast them for a more nutty flavour.

I actually don’t make any new year resolutions as it seems they set me up for epic failure but like you, eating better and healthier and a bit of exercise is always on my list and calendar come January! This looks like the perfect nutrient-packed drink and the combination of flavors is amazing! I will be making it this coming week!
Homemade & Yummy
I to am not one for resolutions. Eating healthy seemed like something I could do (at least most of the time).

This sounds so delicious! It would definitely be great for after a workout. I have to agree that sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect balance as far as exercise. I usually have more trouble with that this time of year but I think this smoothie could be a motivation to workout 🙂

Enjoy your reward….you will love it.

Gloria, this smoothie looks great! I’ve not yet jumped on the smoothie wagon, mostly because I don’t own one of those high-powered blenders. I tried making one a while back with my hand-held immersion blender, but it wasn’t really smooth. LOL.
Homemade & Yummy
Yeah I hear you. Hubby decided we needed a Vitamix. I am not going to argue getting a new kitchen tool!!

I am a new convert to chocolate in my smoothies having just spent time in Guatemala. I agree with the health aspect of chocolate and then there are the raspberries and the pomegranate. I will be making this!
