Equipment
- High Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup water
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup fresh or frozen pineapple
- 3 tablespoons hemp hearts (learn about the benefits of hemp hearts!)
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husks
Optional
- 1 bottle vegan liquid probiotic I use Bio-K+ blueberry
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender, with a couple of ice cubes if you want it extra frosty, and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Notes
This smoothie has about 10 grams of protein from the hemp hearts.
If you need more protein at breakfast, and you're not worried about keeping it low FODMAP, make it with unsweetened organic soy milk instead of water for an extra 8-9 grams of protein! It will also make the smoothie extra creamy.
