Hemp Seed Strawberry Shake: A Deliciously Healthy Boost
Nourishing Hemp Seed and Sweet Strawberry Shake
Hello, health-conscious friends! Just as ‘strength comes from food,’ a nutritious diet is the foundation of our well-being. Today, I’m excited to share a superfood shake recipe featuring hemp seeds, recognized as one of the top 6 ancient grains by TIME magazine. While hemp seeds come from the cannabis plant, they are processed to remove any psychoactive compounds, earning them the nickname ‘good cannabis,’ making them perfectly safe to consume. With a low-calorie profile and high protein content, they’re excellent for increasing muscle mass and reducing body fat, making them a fantastic choice for your diet. Furthermore, the unsaturated fatty acids abundant in hemp seeds help lower bad cholesterol levels, promoting better blood circulation and aiding in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Their rich fiber content also supports digestion and is great for preventing constipation. However, consuming too much can lead to diarrhea, so it’s important to adhere to the recommended daily intake of 10-20g for adults. This incredibly easy-to-make hemp seed shake is perfect for anyone. Let’s get started!
Ingredients- 1 pack (190ml) Soy Milk: This forms the smooth, creamy base, adding a touch of sweetness and valuable nutrients.
- 3 large Strawberries: Fresh, sweet, and slightly tart, these berries bring vibrant flavor and are packed with Vitamin C. Make sure to remove the stems and wash them thoroughly.
- 1 tsp Hemp Seeds: These tiny powerhouses add a delightful nutty flavor and a smooth texture to your shake.
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the 3 large strawberries (stems removed and washed clean) and 1 pack (190ml) of soy milk into a blender or mixer. If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon of hemp seeds to the blender. Hemp seeds have a nutty flavor, similar to pine nuts, and a pleasant, soft texture that becomes more pronounced as you chew. They blend beautifully into shakes.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to blend everything together until smooth. Secure the lid on your blender and process for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 4
For the smoothest possible shake, blend on high speed until completely incorporated. This ensures there are no grainy bits and that the shake is wonderfully smooth to drink.
Step 5
Your delicious and healthy Hemp Seed Strawberry Shake is now complete! Pour it into a glass and enjoy it as a quick breakfast or a nutritious snack. Any leftover hemp seeds can be sprinkled over yogurt or salads for an extra boost!
