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:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Gather all the ingredients and ensure that the berries are frozen for a refreshing texture.

- 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).
- 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.
- Blend Until Smooth:

- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional hemp seeds or a few whole berries for a visually appealing touch.
- 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.
