COCONUT-PEAR DREAM

Hemp milk is a great alternative to dairy, says Koff, as dairy products can contribute to skin irritation in some people. This easy, tasty recipe was created by Manitoba Harvest, a hemp foods company.

Blend �
1/2 cup hemp milk
1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut water
1 to 2 tbsp hemp protein powder (preferably Manitoba Harvest Organic Vanilla, for the added flavor)
1 pear, peeled and cored
Handful of spinach or kale
A splash of coconut extract (for more coconut flavor).
1 cup ice

I'm definitely going to be trying these out!

Been making smoothies since I was 14yrs old, these are nice combo ingredients, but for someone who's busy like me, I've tapered my smoothies down to 5 fast ingredients. You can buy pass and save A LOT of money and just buy chia seeds instead of fish oil, hemp & etc....it expands like tapioca and use fiber 1 cereal. Not to mention save a lot more money. Sugar free pudding thickens smoothies as well as give flavor. If you have the time to do this Great, but for a busy person like me, No way. I even take my own to the gym and shake it with my ingredients to drink at least 30 minutes after the gym.

Some really creative smoothies here! I like the diversity of this list. It's given me a few ideas of things to incorporate in my own smoothies.

I have a blender that doesn't get nearly enough use. Some of these sound really good others..interesting. Wonder if they really "work"?? Guess we'll see!

Greek yogurt makes a fabulous base ingredient for smoothies. It's a little more expensive but I LOVE it. It seems to be healthier than regular yogurt as well.

I can get most of the ingredients except for the coconut milk kefir. I will have to look for that, it sounds good!

by Raven_93 Monday, January 23, 2012 at 09:00PM Report as inappropriate

hmm good

by Nicole2814 Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 02:54PM Report as inappropriate

The ingredients aren't that easy to come by

by yetunde Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 04:33AM Report as inappropriate

kenya: You can find hemp milk at any health food store that sells organic and all-natural products. Also, if your grocery store has a "natural" section, it might be in there as well! It's a lot easier to come by than it might seem!

by heatherl16 Monday, January 16, 2012 at 06:50PM Report as inappropriate

The mango orange one looks like a must try!

by summerann Monday, January 16, 2012 at 05:25PM Report as inappropriate

These all sound delicious but I wish the list offered areas where you could purchase some of these ingredients

by Beautyrae Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 04:35PM Report as inappropriate

where does one buy hemp milk?

by kenya Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 02:19AM Report as inappropriate

Some look okay.

by krycekov Friday, January 6, 2012 at 08:25AM Report as inappropriate

Wow these sound really good. (actually it's probably because they look so good in the pictures. But half the ingredients I don't pruchase and would have to go to a specialty store for those. wonder if Jamba Juice would consider expanding their menu and adding a health section.

by Minibear Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 01:34PM Report as inappropriate

These sound so yummy, but some don't look that good.

by MissXu Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 12:53PM Report as inappropriate

I'd try these!

by sweettpea29 Monday, January 2, 2012 at 05:35PM Report as inappropriate

Sound yummay!

by Sprinklesugars Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 01:43PM Report as inappropriate

I will definitely try some of these! Although some ingredients sound hard to get.

by patricia89 Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 05:30PM Report as inappropriate

None really tasted all that good.

by bjg251 Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 08:07AM Report as inappropriate

by beautyGodmade88 Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 02:47PM Report as inappropriate

I need to make some of these, I already make my own with whey protein, but this is a change plus my super protein

by LadySara Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 02:10PM Report as inappropriate

What is noni fruit powder?

by Only1KimmieD Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 08:38AM Report as inappropriate

Totally gonna try the clear skin smoothie! I could use the extra help right now!

by ladyboarder9669 Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 03:15PM Report as inappropriate

These sound wonderful, but I wish there were explanations about some of the more unusual ingredients, like noni fruit powder - what is it, what are its benefits, and where can it be purchased. Otherwise, great article!.

by Jewelrydesigner Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 01:08PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these sound good but I'm not sure where to get hemp milk from. The sour apple one sounds like an easy and good one to make though!

by voyager24 Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 12:13PM Report as inappropriate

The sour apple sounds so good.

by PorcelainHeart Monday, September 26, 2011 at 08:53AM Report as inappropriate

These are crazy ingredients, I've never even heard of half of them. I wonder if inorganic products would work as well as organic ones

by ayegee Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 06:19PM Report as inappropriate

Great, I love smoothies! :) I just wonder why you have to add all this processed stuff like fish oil (ew, I don't even wanna know how that's made) and protein powder.. so much for natural goodness, I'd rather stick with fruit and veggies - the almond smoothies sounds fantastic.

by candmed Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 01:57PM Report as inappropriate

I'd like to try the orange one, but I'm not sure where I'd find the hemp milk.

by katiespeaking Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 12:47PM Report as inappropriate

I would like to try the sour apple smoothie

by porsha_coleman_mcdaniels Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 08:29PM Report as inappropriate

I love smoothies. I dont know that I will be able to find all these ingredients. Maybe I can find one of those health food organic stores.

by stephgal Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 01:23PM Report as inappropriate

by liizaabeeth Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 09:09AM Report as inappropriate
