Recipes for a Variety of Hemp Protein Smoothies

Lots of hemp protein smoothies here to pick from. I’m sure you’ll find at least one to fit your fancy.

Whether you’re new to making smoothies, or a seasoned veteran – hemp protein smoothies will pack in the nutrition. We’ve compiled several hemp protein smoothie recipes in this post. Check ‘m out! Smoothies are an easy go-to, on-the-go meal.

If you find you’re pressed for time in the morning, make your hemp protein smoothie the night before. Place it in the refrigerator. Store it in a proper sealed container. Grab it when you head out the door. Give it a good shake before drinking it.

Making Hemp Protein Smoothies to Fit Your Lifestyle

We’ve tried to provide different recipes for several dietary requirements. Hemp protein smoothies help to meet diabetic, keto, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, vegan, paleo or whatever your eating style. Although every recipe will not meet all these dietary needs, most can be adjusted slightly by omitting or adding an ingredient to make it your way.

All our hemp protein smoothie recipes are soy free and gluten free.

For making your hemp protein smoothies, I recommend blending hemp hearts and hemp protein powder into any smoothie recipe. Together, they’re a powerhouse combo! Hemp hearts provide the dietary required essential fatty acids. The hemp protein powder packs in more protein, magnesium, and iron—but lacks the abundant healthy fats the hearts supply. If you’re only choosing one, go with hemp hearts for their good fats and versatility.

For best results, use 3–4 heaping tablespoons of hemp hearts with 1–2 heaping tablespoon of hemp protein powder.

Calculate the Following for Customizing the Grams of Protein You Desire:

If you’re looking for more fiber, use Higher Fiber Hemp Protein Powder, which = about 3.7g of protein per tablespoon.

Hemp protein smoothies are PopPop’s favorite – especially this recipe that’s gluten free and dairy free. He claims hemp protein smoothies provide him with energy and help to keep him going strong.

Notes

Once in a while, if I have it on hand, I'll sneak and add in a handful of raw baby kale or plain full fat Greek yogurt to this smoothie recipe...  and he doesn't even notice.
We're fans of using a combination of hemp hearts and hemp protein powder in smoothies. The protein powder is higher in protein, magnesium & iron and the hemp hearts provide essential fatty acids.
You'll get about 20g of protein when using 2-tbsp hemp protein powder and 3-tbsp of hemp hearts.
Hemp Hearts and Hemp Protein carries 20 amino acids making them very digestible. You can tailor the grams of protein you want in your smoothie by calculating the following:
If you're looking for more fiber, try Higher Fiber Hemp Protein Powder
*tip - you can cut back (1/4 to1/2 cup) on the pineapple juice and add water in its place. It'll cut the calories & fruit sugar. Experiment to your liking & needs.

Notes

This recipe calls for Hemp Hearts only, because that was the Grateful Mammie's favorite.
You can substitute the orange juice with another fruit juice or a non-dairy milk like almond milk if you prefer less sweet.
I often use a combination of hemp hearts and hemp protein powder in my smoothies. The protein powder will boost protein, magnesium & iron and the hemp hearts will provide needed essential fatty acids.
I use 3 to 4 tbsp of hemp hearts and 1 heaping tbsp of hemp protein powder.
Hemp hearts carry all the same goodness as hemp protein powder, but in a slightly less concentration of protein, vitamins & minerals. The trade is, you'll get those good fats the hemp hearts supply. Hemp protein powder does not have a significant amount of omegas.
You can add hemp protein powder to this smoothie recipe to boost nutrients.

If you make this dark chocolate hemp protein smoothie as directed with whole milk you'll get 25 to 27g of protein. Along with a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. 
Hemp Protein carries 20 amino acids making it very digestible. You can tailor the grams of protein you want in your smoothie by calculating the following:

  • 1-tbsp hemp hearts = aprox 3.3g protein
  • 1 & 1/2 cups whole milk = 12 g protein (if you choose non-dairy milk, you can add more hemp.
 
I'm a big fan of using hemp hearts in my smoothie because along with the protein, you'll get those needed essential fatty acids. I incorporate the hemp protein powder to boost the plant-based protein and the magnesium & iron along with all the other goodness hemp has. They're a great combination for any smoothie or shake.

    Fresh ginger root will give the best flavor. You'll find fresh ginger in the produce section of the grocery store; you can use powdered ginger but fresh is better.
    The amount of ginger you use will depend on your taste buds.
    Break off a chunk or 2 from the root, each about the size of a tablespoon. Wash & scrape the outside of the root to help remove the outer paper-like skin.
    If this is the 1st time you're eating ginger, you may want to start with a smaller amount. The flavor can be strong & spicy. Add more until the flavor meets your desire.
