Tropical Ginger Hemp Seed Smoothie

1 March, 2017 by Giselle Rochford 29 Comments

This tropical ginger hemp seed smoothie is easy to throw together, portable, delicious and filled with plant-based protein. Perfect on-the-go vegan breakfast.

If you follow me on IG you’d know that I love smoothie bowls with all the toppings as much as the next gal. So why is this smoothie in a glass and not a bowl?

Well, sometimes I don’t have the time, energy or desire to chew let alone create and eat an elaborate granola topped masterpiece. That’s when I reach for this ginger hemp seed smoothie, with a drizzle of coconut butter to soothe the topping fiend within.

Like my pb & berry quinoa smoothie, this one is easy to throw together, portable and delicious. And it’s filled with plant-based protein – in this case hemp instead of quinoa.

In my pre-vegan days I would just throw a scoop of protein powder into my smoothies and slurp them down. But I’ve been really enjoying finding more creative and tasty ways to get my protein fix in the mornings.

That being said, I’m not a huge fan of the taste of hemp. Usually I just bake my hemp seeds into things and never really taste them.

But with smoothies, I start off liking the flavour but after a couple sips I have to force myself to choke it down.

Luckily, the ginger and citrus in this smoothie go a long way to masking whatever it is about hemp that rubs me the wrong way.

And I even went a step further and stuffed pineapple, coconut and mango in there so this ginger hemp seed smoothie is basically summer in a glass. Which – for an island girl like me – is never a bad thing.

    How to make online courses more interesting in the United States https://meiguodaixie.com/wang-ke-dai-shang According to some students reflect the boring situation of online courses,we believe that the main reason is that the school teachers do not fully master the professional skills of online courses,do not understand the specific characteristics of online courses are different from ordinary classroom teaching.When it comes to the standard of a qualified online course,first of all,have the platform and equipment technical support. If the teacher feels bad, you can imagine that the student’s acceptance level, the teaching quality of a online course will be greatly reduced. Over the years, excellent teaching quality, from teacher training resources, teacher teaching style, standardized curriculum content selection and classroom design.

    I really love this recipe, and use of hemp for protein! I much prefer this over a scoop of protein too. Great idea to mask the hemp flavor with ginger and citrus! The deep green color looks so inviting too. Thanks for giving me a great recipe to add to my “try” list!

    Hey Giselle,

    Love all of your pins! They scream deliciousness!

    This smoothie is definitely something I can see myself enjoying daily.
    The combination of mangoes with leafy greens and banana is pretty clever.
    On top of that, you have added some coconut butter which definitely gives the smoothie the fat boost that it needs.

    Keep sharing these delicious recipes. Love them.
