Boost Your Day with a Nutrient-Packed Hemp Seed Smoothie


 

Are you looking for a delicious, nutrient-dense meal replacement that also happens to include the powerhouse superfood—hemp seeds? Whether you're a busy professional or a health enthusiast, this hemp seed smoothie will fuel your body with the essential nutrients you need to power through your day.

Incorporating hemp seeds into your diet not only provides a clean source of plant-based protein but also delivers a hearty dose of healthy fats, fiber, and key vitamins and minerals. Plus, this recipe keeps the calories in check while still giving you a well-rounded profile of macronutrients and micronutrients.

If you’re ready for a flavorful, balanced, and filling meal replacement, this hemp seed smoothie is exactly what you need.

Why Hemp Seeds Are a Superfood

Hemp seeds are often praised as one of the most nutritionally complete plant-based foods. These tiny seeds are packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health and brain function. They also contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source—an especially great choice for those following plant-based diets.

Additionally, hemp seeds provide:

  • Magnesium, which supports muscle function and energy production.
  • Zinc, which boosts the immune system.
  • Iron, essential for healthy blood cells.

To enhance your daily nutrient intake, pairing this smoothie with a daily multivitamin such as Nutrilite can help ensure you’re meeting all your micronutrient needs. Vitamins and minerals like calcium, vitamin D, and B-vitamins are essential to overall well-being and may be harder to get through diet alone.

Balanced Nutrition in One Smoothie

This hemp seed smoothie recipe delivers a full meal replacement that’s under 600 calories and provides a balance of healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Plus, it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals from natural ingredients, including spinach, apple, lemon juice, and chia seeds.

Here’s how the hemp seed smoothie breaks down in terms of nutrients:

  • Healthy Fats: Hemp seeds, olive oil, and coconut oil provide a rich source of omega-3s, MCTs, and monounsaturated fats, which help keep you full and energized.
  • Protein: Hemp hearts and Greek yogurt deliver around 15–18 grams of protein per serving, helping to build and repair muscles, while also curbing hunger.
  • Fiber and Carbs: The apple and chia seeds add a healthy dose of fiber, promoting good digestion, stabilizing blood sugar, and giving you long-lasting energy.
  • Micronutrients: Spinach, apple, and lemon juice load this smoothie with essential vitamins, like vitamin C (immunity boost) and vitamin E (skin health), while chia seeds add calcium and magnesium for bone and heart health.

Cannabis and The Financial System

    While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

    Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
