Hemp Berry Bliss Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Gather all the ingredients and ensure that the berries are frozen for a refreshing texture.
    • Peel and slice the ripe banana.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Blender:
    • In a blender, add the frozen mixed berries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
  3. Add Liquid:
    • Pour in the unsweetened almond milk to help blend the ingredients smoothly. Adjust the amount of almond milk based on your preferred thickness.
  4. Blend Until Smooth:
    • Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk gradually until it reaches your desired thickness.
  5. Adjust Sweetness:
    • Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. Keep in mind that the sweetness of the smoothie can vary based on personal preference and the ripeness of the fruit.
  6. Optional: Add Ice Cubes:
    • If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until they are fully incorporated.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Pour the hemp berry bliss smoothie into a glass or a bowl.
    • Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional hemp seeds or a few whole berries for a visually appealing touch.
  8. Customize:
    • Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other nutritious ingredients such as spinach or kale for added greens, a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost, or even a splash of lime juice for a zesty twist.
