🥤 Ingredients
All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.
Some notes on a few of them:
- Blueberries - I suggest using frozen berries as it helps to make a thicker and creamy smoothie.
- Hemp seeds - you want to use hulled hemp seeds (also known as hemp hearts) rather than whole hemp seeds for their creamy and slightly nutty flavor.
- Non-dairy milk - use the type that suits you best!
📖 Swaps and variations
Use fresh or frozen berries. While frozen fruit will give you a thicker berry smoothie, you can use fresh and then add a little ice.
Swap hemp seeds for oats. Both will make the smoothie a little more filling and substantial.
