Strawberry and Spinach Smoothie

Lately I have really been getting into drinking my fruits and vegetables. It is a best way for me to snack as I go throughout my day. This recipe has been requested and like the amazing blogger I am, I just had to share it. I was inspired by this RawsomeLife, since I was looking for new ways to work with hemp seeds.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Frozen or Fresh Strawberries
  • 2 Cups Spinach Leaves
  • 1 Banana
  • ½ Cup Almond or Coconut Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Hemp Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 2 Dates (Optional)

Directions:

  • Break up the banana into chunks.
  • Throw everything into the blender.
  • Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Enjoy!!!
