Question from Nancy: I was watching Jessa’s video yesterday on the green smoothies and wonder what hemp seed is and where do you buy it. Also, was that beets or carrots she put in that smoothie? I had no idea you could grind up greens like that – I put some spinach in my smoothie this morning and it was quite good.
Also, what do you think of Hemp Milk? Is it ok to use instead of Almond or Rice Milk?
Hey there Nancy
Hemp seed is the seed harvested from the female marijuana plant. You can find it in most natural food or health food store. Hemp milk is basically Hemp seed and purified water blended together. I think hemp milk is great in that form. Most of the hemp milk you find in your natural food store has had flavoring added to it to make it more palatable for the consumer much like its alternatives Almond or Rice. Hemp milk however is the highest in omega 3. i think it is fine to use either almond or rice milk. If I had to choose I would use almond over rice milk. Rice milk tends to be much lower in protein and higher in sugar. I put Beet greens into the smoothie (not the actual root I cooked those up for dinner)
Hope that helps
Nancy I realized after watching the video why you were confused if I put in carrots or Beets. The Red vegetable that I put in the blender was the stems of the Swiss Chard. I think that clears up that question.
hey guys great video. just a tip. i,ll be better if u like have a list of ingredients written down in the video. just for all of those people who dont watch the entire video before going to the grocery.
I know im a little bit late on this thread, but how much hemp seed did you add.
I put in about a table spoon of hemp seed. You can also get hemp seed oil and the dosage is on the bottle. Enjoy!
