Don’t be fooled by the rather innocent hue of this easy green smoothie. There’s a lot more nutrition under the hood than this picture might have you believe!

You see, this smoothie is a lean, mean, brain-boosting, fat-busting smoothie of surprising proportions. Unlike the majority of smoothies many of us make, this one is not very sweet.

It is luxuriously creamy because of the avocado and offers a somewhat pronounced, nutty taste from the hemp seeds. It’s really more of a savoury smoothie than a sweet one.

And it’s delicious! That is, if you like green smoothies. Lean, mean, not-so-sweet smoothies, I mean. (And in case it wasn’t clear: this is not a smoothie for wimps. Ha!)

Nutritional Benefits of Hemp Seeds in this Easy Green Smoothie

You’ll notice that hemp seeds play a starring role in this easy green smoothie. With their high quantity of omega 3 fatty acids, hemp seeds are excellent for both the young and the young-at-heart.

They are considered “essential” fatty acids because they have to come from our diets. They aren’t produced within the body. They are essential for many, many conditions. (I talked about Omega 3s in more depth in this recent post).

Hemp seeds are also a superstar when it comes to plant-based protein. One tablespoon of hemp seeds has an impressive 5 grams of protein. So, this smoothie has between 20-24 grams of protein based on my recipe.

One note: hemp seeds do have a distinctive flavour so feel free to adjust how much of them you use. Feel free to split this easy green smoothie with a friend or drink it all down if you don’t feel like sharing!

Nutritional Benefits of Spinach in this Easy Green Smoothie

I love spinach in this easy green smoothie because of its mild flavour.

Spinach is also incredibly nutrient-dense and provides a range of health benefits.

Here are some key ones:

Rich in Nutrients: Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals. These include vitamins A, C, and K1, as well as folic acid, iron, and calcium. Vitamin K1, essential for bone health, is especially high in spinach. Vitamins A and C support immune health by protecting the skin and by stimulating white blood cell activity.
High in Antioxidants: Spinach contains antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, which help reduce oxidative stress in the body. This can help reduce chronic disease risks.
Supports Eye Health: The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin in spinach are particularly beneficial for eye health. They protect the eyes from UV damage, as well as risks of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Aids Digestion: Spinach’s high fibre supports healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. Fibre can also help to to reduce blood cholesterol.
Balances Blood Sugar: Spinach has a low glycemic index, making it a good choice for managing blood sugar levels. It may also help increase insulin sensitivity due to its high levels of magnesium.

If you can’t do spinach, you can replace this with another favourite green like kale.
