Green Smoothie with Omega Rich Hemp Hearts

My new favorite smoothie! Here is what makes it perfect, the Hemp Hearts!

The other night I stayed with a friend and she made me a green smoothie the next morning. I was shocked at what she started putting in the Vita Mix. It was a creative concoction that truthfully sounded terrible to me, but it was surprisingly good. The best news is that it got me off my regular smoothie regime, which was getting boring.

I decided I needed a new taste and some new veggies. My purpose was to get some good fats, begin eating fresh Turmeric and a variety of greens.  So, I happened to have run across the most beautiful Italian Parsley I have even seen. Then I had some cilantro and romaine lettuce leaves leftover. It hardly seemed like enough, but I loaded the Vita Mix anyway. Then I added a piece of ginger, a whole lemon, a green apple and 1/3 cup of Hemp Hearts.

What made this smoothie so rich and satisfying was the Hemp Hearts. I love to make a milk out of them, which I do often along with sunflower seeds and buckwheat groats, but I never imagined them with greens. They just made this drink delicious. And, if Green Smoothies are delicious then you will drink more of them. The other good news is that Turmeric absorbs better when accompanied with a good fat - or good source of Omegas!

Try them. They are also a great snack on just about anything.

Green Smoothies

Cultured Veggies are a great place to top off your green smoothie and give it an extra flavor and nutritional punch.  Use any flavor that sounds good with the blend you are making.  One to two tablespoons can turn a boring green smoothie into a vibrant robust drink.

On Toast

Almost all of the flavors go great on a piece of toast. Your favorite bread can be toasted and then topped with butter and your favorite Cultured Veggie. To take it further and make a more rounded meal, add cheese to your toast, egg salad, avocado or any deli meat or tofu for a complete meal.

Eggs

Cultured Veggies are fabulous with eggs, whether you scramble, boil or sauté them. Try them in omelets or in egg salad.

Sandwiches, Burgers & Hot Dogs

Remember Cultured Veggies are like the pickle on the hamburger or the relish on the Dog. Think of using them in that way. They add an acid element that is called for in many meals to round the flavors out.  All flavors go great on sandwiches, burgers and dogs.

Add to Wraps

Wraps are another great way to bring your lunch alive.

Bone Broth & Soups
