Hemp hearts are the tender center of the hemp seed, featuring all of the essential amino acids necessary for building protein in the body. Unlike flax seeds, which you need to grind ahead of time to benefit from their full nutritional profile, hemp hearts can be enjoyed directly from the bag over a salad or blended seamlessly into a smoothie. Paired with frozen banana, raw walnuts, and a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach (don’t worry, you can’t taste it!), you can count on this delicious shake to leave you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.  1 cup Homemade Almond Milk (page 178
