  • Banana. For creaminess and natural sweetness.
  • Hemp seeds. A plant-based protein source rich in omega-3s and healthy fats.
  • Liquid of your choice

How to Blend the Perfect Smoothie

  1. Start with the liquids – Adding a splash of water, coconut water, or plant-based milk helps the blender move smoothly.
  2. Add the softer ingredients – Bananas and beets should go in before harder frozen fruits.
  3. Drop in the frozen fruit and seeds last – This ensures an even blend without overworking your blender.
  4. Blend until smooth – If needed, add more liquid in small amounts until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a low speed and slowly go up, this will give you a very creamy and smooth smoothie.

Ingredient Variations & Swaps

  • Swap pitaya for strawberries or raspberries – If you don’t have frozen pitaya on hand, frozen berries work just as well.
  • Use chia or flaxseeds instead of hemp seeds – All three add fiber and plant-based protein.
  • Add plant-based protein powder – A scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein works well if you want an extra protein boost.
  • Make it creamier – Blend with coconut milk or almond milk for a richer texture.
