Hemp seeds (sometimes called hemp hearts) are packed with fiber and a great way to add plant-based protein & omegas to any recipe.
Look for them in the nut and seed section of your grocery store, or order them online (or omit them if you prefer)!
If using frozen pear & ginger in place of fresh you can skip the ice.
For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
Skip or reduce the ginger to reduce the spice level.
If you can’t find ripe pears, substitute 1 cored, chopped apple.
For nut-free be sure to use a nut-free milk like oat milk, coconut milk or hemp milk.
For vegan, be sure to use a plant-based protein powder.
For paleo, be sure to use a paleo-friendly protein powder.
