~Ingredients~

1 Cup of Organic Hemp Milk (chilled)

1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder

1/2 Banana Sliced

5 Strawberries Sliced

This is such a great shake.  You can use Skim milk, Almond milk or even Water.  I used Organic Hemp Milk to change things up a bit, it was delicious! It was thick and creamy and full of Omegas!

Organic Hemp Milk gives a really creamy base and tasted great with the Vanilla Protein Powder.  

 Organic Hemp Milk is made from hemp seeds  Hemp seeds are a natural source of Omega-3 ALA-a good-for-you Essential Fatty Acid.  This silky smooth beverage is also an excellent source of Calcium and a good source of Vitamin D, making it a great choice for those looking for a dairy alternative.  You can use it just like dairy milk in cereals and recipes and drink by the glassful.  I also use Hemp Milk in my Oatmeal from time to time.  Try it out it tastes great!

One 8-Ounce glass contains the following healthy nutrients:

900mg Omega-3 Fatty Acid 2800mg Omega-6 Fatty Acid All 10 Essential Amino Acids 4 grams of Digestible Protein 46% of RDA of Calcium 0% Cholesterol Potassium Phosphorous Riboflavin

If you love Chocolate & Coconut your going to love this one!  I try to add ingredients that compliment each other while keeping it simple, nutritious and tasting delicious.  You can use any protein powder brand you prefer, I am using EAS in this recipe.
