Filled with protein and fibre, this smoothie tastes delicious and fills your body with nutrients. Hemp seeds are one of the world’s most perfect plant sources of the complete set of essential amino acids and they boast an ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats. This makes them an excellent food for anyone following an active and healthy lifestyle. I enjoy this smoothie before exercise to boost my energy, or else afterwards for recovery and repair.
