This recipe was originally called hempseed smoothie. When I made it, it actually was thick so I served it up in a dessert dish and ate it like a pudding. My son, Logan loved eating it too. There was some extra so I dished it up in another bowl and placed it in the freezer for about 20 min. That made it like a ice slushy - that was really delicious too. To make it thick use frozen bananas, to make it like a smoothie either use more water (and for fun in taste can add a little almond milk too) and perhaps use a banana that is not frozen. Like with any of these recipes you can add other fruit - depending on what you are in the mood for.
½ cup water
3 Tbsp. hemp seed
1-2 date, pitted
½ banana, frozen
handful of pineapple (opt.)
handful of spinach leaves or other greens
--Process water & hemp seeds in blender then add remaining ingredients.
[hemp seeds: rich source of essential amino acids & essential fatty acids.
Greens: add vitamins and minerals]
The second time I made this, I added some chia meal (or you could use chia seeds) to get some omega 3 in the smoothie.
So make this fun and to fit your style of taste for the day. I don't know about you, but sometimes drinking smoothies every day can get a little old so why not make it thicker, place it in a fancy dessert dish and enjoy. In the mood for ice-cream - freeze it and boy does it hit the spot. Scrumptious!
