There's nothing new about green smoothies these days. Adding spinach or kale is excellent, but I'm here to talk about the star of the show: hemp.
Hemp seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on earth. Not only are they a superior source of protein, but hemp also contains a wide variety of minerals, vitamins, omega-6 fatty acids, and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Here are some of its extraordinary benefits via happy hemp:
