gluten free by nature — casein, soy and entirely almost sugar free…

If you’re in a pinch for time, smoothies are such an easy breakfast and a healthy way to start your day. Today, I decided to break out my newest find for a true power breakfast: raw hemp protein powder. Hemp is one of nature’s superfoods - with an almost perfect balance of omega 3 and 6. Not to mention it is a complete source of protein and loaded with fiber. It also hosts all 10 essential amino acids and GLA (which flax oil does not). Flax is really great. But, hemp is even better. It has a bit of a distinctive flavor.  As such, I chose to use summer fruits to liven up the taste.  

1 banana
1 nectarine or peach
1 cup blueberries
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tablespoons coconut milk
1 cup non-dairy milk
4 tblsp hemp protein powder

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. While the mixer is running add the protein powder through the drop spout. Makes 2 adult servings.
