Avocado gives it a beautiful, creamy texture, plus added fiber and healthy fats. Raspberries, Medjool dates and cacao nibs bring the added sweetness and flavor.

Berry Peachy Hemp Smoothie

Sweet Valentines Day Smoothies to Share with Your Special Someone | Bob's Red Mill Blog Even though chocolate is great and all, sometimes a smoothie just has to be fruity to really hit the spot. This delish berry and peach smoothie definitely does trick. We use our Hemp Protein Powder to give this smoothie some oomph, along with milk, yogurt and Oat Bran cereal to make it nice, thick and filling. Peaches and blueberries (fresh or frozen) bring the fruity goodness and maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. Blend this recipe until smooth and enjoy it with your favorite person during an evening walk in the woods, or an early morning breakfast watching the sunrise. Note:Eating raw oats is generally safe, but may cause digestive issues or increase the risk of foodborne illness.

Soy Sunshine Smoothie

We use our Soy Protein Powder in this one, so all of you vegans with sensitivities to gluten or dairy can enjoy it too. It makes a great protein supplement and blends so well, you cant even taste it. Pineapple juice gives this smoothie its sweetness, blended well with a banana and some freshly cubed mango. Its perfect for those watching their sugar intake, too, because the only sugars are the ones from the fruit and juice, nothing extra added to it. Just blend it until its as smooth as you like, pour and serve.

Chocolate Mint Smoothie
