Hemp seeds are rich in protein and can help you feel satiated throughout the day. Adding the hemp seeds to the smoothie will also bulk up the texture. Tip: You can replace hemp with flax seeds or chia seeds in equal quantities. And for a subtly sweet flavor, you’ll be mixing in a bit of raw honey.

To get started, combine the cubed avocado, green apples, and cold water in a blender. Pulse on high until you get a thick, homogeneous mixture. Then, add the spirulina powder, maca powder, shelled hemp seeds, and honey. Continue pulsing until all the ingredients are combined and divide the smoothie between two glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top and enjoy!
