Wild Blueberry and Hemp Shake

The GLiving Network: Another great site

1½ Cups Pure Water
5 Tblsp Hemp Seeds
3 Tblsp Agave Nectar
1 Tblsp Coconut Butter (optional)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 10-oz Package of Frozen Wild Blueberries
1 Cup Frozen Banana
Pinch of Salt

Serves 1 - Double or triple the recipe for your friends (or yourself). It is filling, an entire meal.

Blend everything except for the frozen ingredients on high speed until it is white, creamy and frothy. Then add the frozen ingredients and blend again on high until smooth and creamy. I prefer it simple with just the blueberries and hemp milk; it keeps the whole thing low-sugar. But it is thicker, creamier, and sweeter with the banana.

Hemp seeds have basically the perfect profile of essential fatty acids and the best possible balance of omega 6, omega 3 and GLA. Unlike flax, which is ultra heavy in omega 3, hemp won’t throw your EFA balance off if eaten long-term or in large quantities, since it is naturally balanced. It has a 4:1 Omega 6 to 3 ratio just like the diet that humans evolved on for 2.5 million years.
