This Blueberry Banana Hemp Smoothie is a simple and satisfying way to start your day or refuel as a mid-day snack. Made with frozen blueberries, banana, and creamy Greek yogurt, it’s packed with antioxidants, protein, and healthy fats from hemp hearts.
Smoothies are also a fantastic way to use up overripe bananas—just peel, chop, and freeze them for future use! They are also a great way to incorporate nuts and seeds in your diet. In this recipe we use Hemp Hearts which are a great source of plant based protein and magnesium. Chia seeds would work as well.
For a lower-potassium alternative, substitute apples or pears for the banana. To boost the protein content, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder along with the liquid base. This smoothie is quick, delicious, and adaptable to suit your dietary preferences or needs.
Dr. Blake’s Top Tip: Layer your ingredients in the blender with the liquid on the bottom for easier blending. Garnish with extra blueberries, banana slices, or a sprinkle of hemp hearts for an appealing finish. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness and flavor!
