Blueberry Smoothie (Hemp Protein Powder)

Protein is an essential nutrient which serves basic bodily functions, helps build new cells, and is responsible for making neurotransmitters—the internal messaging service used to transmit signals around the body. Hemp is one of the most complete proteins in the plant food kingdom. Not only does it contain all 21 known amino acids, but it also includes nine of which humans are unable to produce on their own. As a healthy protein source that is also high in fiber, hemp protein powder can be used in a variety of ways, including a smoothie blend.
