    Ingredient Notes

    Green Dream Hemp Seed Smoothie by Emily Kyle Nutrition
    • Dark greens - if you don't have access to fan leaves, sub your favorite dark green vegetable, like kale or spinach
    • Pineapple - frozen is perfect for this recipe
    • Greek yogurt - if you're plant-based, try a dairy-free option
    • Milk - feel free to use cannabis milk, traditional dairy milk, or plant-based milk like hemp milk
    • Protein powder - optional, but helpful if you want to enjoy this as a meal or are trying to achieve weight loss
    • Hemp seeds - for taste and nutrition
    • Honey - you can use cannahoney if you want
    • Cannabis oil - or any other alternate infusion option listed below

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Alternative Infusion Options

    • Cannabis-infused milk: use for the milk of choice in step 1
    • Fresh cannabis leaves: swap the baby spinach for fan leaves in step 1
    • Decarbed cannabis flower: add 1-2 grams in step 1
    • Decarbed cannabis kief: add ¼-1/2 grams in step 1
    • Cannabis tincture: add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
    • Cannabis oil: add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
    • Leftover cannabis pulp: add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1

    Milk Alternatives

    This recipe features cannabis milk or homemade hemp milk.

    Of course, you can easily swap any milk you prefer for the hemp seed milk if you don't have any already made.

    Sunflower seed milk, coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, traditional dairy milk - pick whichever fits in your healthy lifestyle best!

    Notes & Expert Tips

    • Cannabis edibles have the ability to support your endocannabinoid system, which helps to oversee homeostasis - or balance - of the body.
    • Eating cannabis has a 6-10% bioavailability rate compared to a 30% bioavailability rate when used as a tincture and absorbed sublingually.
    • The effects have a typical onset time of 30-90 minutes and an average duration of 4-8 hours.

    Benefits of Hemp Seeds

    • Hemp seeds are low in saturated fat and have little or no added sugars, refined starches, and sodium
    • Hemp seeds are what I consider to be a great source of plant-based protein for those who are adopting a more plant-based diet
    • Hemp seeds and hemp seed milk are not only nut and/or tree-nut free, but they are also free of the Top-8 major allergens found in food, which account for nearly 90% of all food allergies in the United States. 

    Benefits of Spinach

    • Spinach is a dark-green leafy vegetable that is rich in water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals
    • Contains a wide variety of phytonutrients
    • Spinach contains a multitude of anti-inflammatory nutrients
    • Contains flavonoids and carotenoids that help to support an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle

    Equipment

    • High-Speed Blender

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup baby spinach or cannabis fan leaves tightly packed
    • ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
    • ½ cup full-fat vanilla Greek yogurt or alternative plant-based yogurt
    • ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
    • 2 scoops protein powder of choice
    • 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 1 teaspoon cannabis oil of choice

    Instructions

    • Add the spinach or fan leaves, pineapple, yogurt, milk, protein powder, hemp seeds, honey, and oil to a high-speed blender.
    • Blend on high for 1 minute, or until completely smooth.

    Notes

    CBD Variation: To make CBD oil or CBD butter, swap CBD dominant cannabis flower for THC dominant cannabis flower.
    Flavor Variation: You can easily replace the spinach with any dark green leafy vegetable you enjoy, such as kale. Additionally, if you have access to fresh cannabis plants, you can use fresh cannabis fan leaves.
    Nutrition Tip: To boost the nutritional value of this recipe, it is recommended to add 2 scoops of unflavored collagen peptides. While optional, this protein powder is completely tasteless and can contribute an additional 70 calories and 18 grams of high-quality protein. You can easily find collagen peptides online or at your local health food store.
