It is with great pleasure that I announce my partnership with Manitoba Harvest Hemp Food & Oils. The company is committed to athletic excellence and is the first company to produce a dissolvable hemp protein powder (Hemp Pro 70), a great substitute for those of us who can't digest milk protein powders well.
Hemp is hailed as a super food due to its excellent amino acid profile, high mineral and vitamin content, and it's abundance in omega-3 and rare omega-6 GLA fatty acids. I have supplemented hemp to my daily diet with great success in the last two months. Hemp Hearts are a simple and effective addition to breakfast cereal (as well as salads) and hemp products have turned me into a smoothie enthusiast.
My favourite smoothie recipe:
- ripe banana
- 4 locally grown strawberries (they are red right through and taste way better)
- 3 dates
- 3 heaping tablespoons of Manitoba Harvest hemp hearts
- 3 tbsp Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 70 protein powder
- kale or spinach (to taste)
- plain yogurt
- generous helping of cinnamon
- splash of fruit juice
- squirt of Manitoba Harvest hemp oil
The hemp products give the smoothie a nice green nutty flavour. A huge bonus for me with the hemp protein powder, is that it is much easier for me to digest compared to various milk protein powders that I have tried. I have said goodbye to bloating and cramping post-smoothie.
Thanks Manitoba Harvest!

I like mixing whey protein with banana because for me, it lessens the awful after taste of whey and also I would like to try your mix.
