Spirulina and Hemp Protein Smoothie

This Vegan Spirulina and Hemp Protein Smoothie is a super fast and easy, nutrient-dense smoothie recipe to start your day off right!

It will give you the plant-based protein and fiber as a base to your smoothie, a fruit serving as a natural sweetener and three superfoods: hemp, spirulina and maca powder.

I used my Vitamix to make homemade almond milk, then again to make the smoothie, but feel free to use any non-dairy milk.

The reason I love to use Nutivia Hemp Protein + Hi Fiber is because the only ingredient is 100% organic hemp protein which gives you 11 grams of plant-based protein and 12 grams of fiber in one serving.  With only 1 ingredient!

This healthy smoothie recipe is made with clean, real food ingredients and is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, lectin-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.
