Kale and Hemp Heart Fab Four Smoothie

This Kale and Hemp Heart Smoothie will be your new go-to for prioritizing a happy palate and healthy nutrition. Each ingredient is intentionally chosen to create something earthy, balancing, and full of lasting energy.

Unlike most juice bar smoothies, this one is full of protein thanks to Be Well protein powder. By adding protein to the smoothie, it blunts the blood sugar spike that might otherwise happen. My chemical extraction free protein powder uses minimal, high-quality ingredients. And it calms your hunger hormones, which means it’ll leave you feeling full, calm, and energized.

The other ingredients in this smoothie further add to the nutritional benefit. MCT oil fights off bad bacteria and yeast in the digestive tract that can cause inflammation and hinder weight loss. It’s easily digested and has been shown to promote fat burning and increase energy expenditure.

Ashwagandha helps the body to become more resilient and better adapt to stress. Kale is packed with vitamin C and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Chia seeds provide a punch of fiber as well as brain-boosting omega 3s. Hemp hearts add extra protein and trace minerals.
