Tips and Tricks
- In the following recipe, we are going to be using frozen fruit but you can use fresh fruit if you would prefer. If you choose to use fresh fruit instead of frozen, add in a cup of ice to turn your ingredients into a smoothie instead of juice.
- Want to meet your macros or protein intake? Add a couple of scoops of protein to your smoothie. Unflavored or vanilla protein powder is the best one to use for this fruit smoothie.
- If you have never added hemp seeds to your smoothie — here is your perfect opportunity. Hemp seeds are packed with healthy fats like omega-3 and omega-6 which help with reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. Hemp seeds don’t have a distinct flavor so it’s perfect to add to any smoothie for added health benefits.
- While this recipe uses almond milk it is easily interchangeable with any of your favorite alternative nut milk. Besides almond milk oat milk, cashew milk, or even coconut milk will be great alternatives to use in this smoothie.
- Chia seeds are also a great addition to any smoothie. This incredible plant-based protein is an excellent source of fiber, helps to control blood sugar, increases your heart’s help with omega-3s, and is high in calcium. Just like hemp seeds, it doesn’t have a super distinct flavor so it is a perfect addition to any fruit smoothie.
