Notes
This smoothie makes 3 large servings or 4 small servings.To make this recipe higher in protein, you can add more hemp hearts to taste. This smoothie isn't made to be a filling breakfast. Instead, it's great enjoyed as a snack or as a "juice" with breakfast.You can use kale instead of spinach if preferred. I would recommend starting with half of the suggested amount and increasing it to taste.I used Gala apples. Use your favorite apples. There's no need to peel the apples, just remove the core.If you don't like a strong ginger taste, start with 1/2 a tablespoon. You can also skip it if preferred.
