Rhubarb Coconut Smoothie

Ingredients
2 cups vanilla coconut milk
1 Tbs hemp protein powder
2 Tbs homemade strawberry rhubarb jam
1 frozen banana-diced

Directions
1. Layer ingredients into blender in the order that is listed and blend!

Sometimes I just feel like having something light in the morning and quick, so a smoothie works perfectly. I usually have frozen bananas in the freezer. Once a banana gets too ripe to eat I just throw it in the freezer and then it turns into something useful rather than garbage. I just made the jam yesterday, so I thought it would be fun to add for some flavor. I am not a big protein shake drinker, but I think it is nice to have some hemp powder on hand when you want to make a meal replacer. Hemp seeds are one of nature's best sources for plant-based protein. Hemp protein contains an almost perfect balance of essential fatty acids (EFA’s) Omega-3 and 6, a high content of fiber, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.
