This chocolate hemp seeds thick shake is a healthier chocolate milkshake packed with superfoods!
This is a superfood chocolate hemp seed thickshake that is packed with protein and even a sneaky serving of cruciferous veggies. Don’t worry, you won’t even taste the veggies! When your whole family loves something, you know you have a winner. My mom also loves this smoothie and took some in for her coworkers to try and they all loved it as well.
This shake packs a serious nutrition punch! It honestly surprised me when I plugged in all the ingredients and looked at the nutrition profile. I knew it kept me satisfied and full for a long time and really gave me long lasting energy but WOW! It is definitely a meal, as it packs 539 calories, so keep this in mind. This particular smoothie is best consumed right away or kept in the fridge and consumed within one hour of making it. Otherwise, it is no longer a milkshake type consistency.
