Hemp Chocolate Smoothie is rich, thick, creamy, and packed with nutrition. Perfect as a meal or post-workout drink.
I would love this on Valentine’s Day. The combination of chocolate and berries is the perfect match for this healthy smoothie recipe.
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.

This year I didn’t make NY resolutions for the simple reason that I always made them and they were unobtainable without some steel will. I just decided that would make small changes that made sense for me and to just take everything in moderation and not get too down on myself when I make a bad choice whether it be in the gym or in the kitchen. This smoothie definitely looks like a sweet reward for having a good day!
Homemade & Yummy
It is delicious..hope you give it a try.

Everything you say is true; balance is the key (pizza trade-offs, in particular). So is this reminder nearly one month into the new year when resolve starts to weaken. A great smoothie like this is, for me, a meal replacement that keeps me going and feeling ready for a workout, or, if need be, shoveling!
Homemade & Yummy
Yes it sure is all about the balance. This does fill you up, and keep you going!!

Eating healthy is a challenge. Something as tempting as this smoothie, though, makes it easier! The chocolate raspberry combination makes this more like a treat than a health drink. Thanks for sharing.

If I am going to get something as delicious as this one after a workout, I would not mind running on the treadmill or shoveling. I have not worked with Hemp before, but finding great recipes like this help me try out a new ingredient.
Homemade & Yummy
Hemp is so delicious. Yes I agree, it you have something as tasty as this to look forward to, the task is a little easier.
Sarah @ The Fit Cookie
Yum this looks great! I love the hemp hearts from Manitoba Harvest, such a great company. One of these days I’m going to try my hand at making some hemp milk out of the hemp hearts!
Homemade & Yummy
That sounds like a fun little project. Let me know how it turns out.

I love the idea of adding hemp to smoothies! Or flaxseed or chia seeds – I’ve never considered any, but they’re all such great nutritious things to add. Time to start adding some to my toddler’s green smoothies.
Homemade & Yummy
Yes to all of the above. They are all great things to add to smoothies.
Kylee
This has to be one of the best arguments in the world to begin working out – getting a treat like this when I’m done? yes please! I’m new to hemp, but certainly up for trying it!
Homemade & Yummy
Hey, if it get you motivated….awesome. Enjoy your reward.
