This has the healthy ingredients of a smoothie but the thick creaminess of a chocolate milkshake. Hemp is a pretty amazing plant, every part of which can be used and transformed into textiles, soap, paper, plastic, paint and more. The seeds are anti-inflammatory nutritional powerhouses rich in magnesium, protein and essential healthy fats.
I made the mistake of giving this to my brother and his friend without explicitly stating that it would not taste like a normal milkshake. My bro was not impressed but his friend was polite enough to drink some, though he did say it wouldn’t bring the boys to the yard ;).
