TIPS
- For Thicker Texture: For a thicker texture, use frozen strawberries and a frozen banana.
- Avoid Clumping: Blend hemp seeds with the milk first to avoid clumping in the smoothie.
- Prevent Residue Buildup: Rinse your blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
- To Boost Sweetness: Add a dash of vanilla extract if your protein powder is unflavoured to boost sweetness.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Ensure the protein powder is plant-based (e.g. pea, rice).
- Extra Fibre: Add 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or oats before blending.
- Nutty Richness: Stir in a teaspoon of almond or sunflower seed butter after blending.
- Mix Fruit: Substitute half the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.
- Low‑Sugar: Use half a banana and supplement sweetness with a couple of date halves if desired.
