If you are a fan of hemp seeds, which I don’t know anyone who isn’t these days, you will enjoy this recipe. Lately, I’ve been adding hemp and chia seeds to all my smoothies. Just so I could get added protein and sustain energy through my busy day. I recommend giving them a try, especially if you are wanting extra protein, omega 3’s, and omega 6’s.

Blueberry Banana Bliss

This blueberry banana bliss smoothie is easy to make but it’s also delicious, satisfying, and filling.  Perfect for your morning, afternoon, or nighttime craving. I usually keep my blueberries in the freezer, so I can enjoy this recipe on a hot day. We get a lot of those here in Texas.

Health Benefits

Blueberries are high in antioxidants and help to boost the body’s immune system. They are also high in vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, anthocyanin, copper, iron, selenium, and zinc. This protects the body and fights against viral and bacterial infections. Blueberries also help to reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. They are great for energizing the body, aiding in weight loss, and lowering cholesterol levels naturally. Blueberries are a resource for fiber intake, which helps to reduce constipation and improve digestion. The high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of blueberries build a protective layer around the brain to fight against the signs of aging.
