Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same."

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

I am so happy that I made this chocolate peanut butter smoothie! I can't believe how tasty it is considering the ingredients: organic unsweetened vanilla soy milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, hemp, and spinach. I tried it with and without the spinach to see if it affected the taste, and for me, it did not. So I'll be making mine with spinach.  Don't worry about it being green! Enjoy!

  1. HI Jean, Thank you for your comment. If you want to use a hemp powder, look for 100% organic, raw hemp seed with nothing added. You can also simply use hemp seeds themselves. I hope this helps!
