This creamy smoothie is both soothing and energizing. It’s one of my favorites!
1 cup pure water
2 tablespoons shelled raw hemp seeds
1 teaspoon dry chia seeds
1 and 1/2 cups ripe red delicious apple, cored (skin on) medium diced
1/2 cup very ripe banana, tightly packed
1/4 level teaspoon ground cinnamon
First blend together the water, hemp seeds, chia seeds and apple until everything becomes creamy. You may still see specks of apple skin. That is just fine. Next, add the banana and ground cinnamon and blend again until smooth. Pour the mixture into a tall glass and garnish with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon. Sip to your heart’s content!
A few tips…
The listed ingredients amount to roughly 16 ounces of smoothie.
For this particular smoothie, I prefer to only use ripe red delicious apples as their sweetness marries perfectly with the other ingredients. If you are unable to find red delicious, fuji would be the next best choice.
Chia seeds are rich in protein and calcium as well as Omega 3 and Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids. In addition to smoothies, chia seeds are also wonderful for making puddings, cereals and more. I could go on and on, but I’ll save that for another time.
Enjoy!
