Vegan Chocolate Hemp Power Smoothie with avocado and banana. Thick, creamy, delicious, and jam-packed with protein and plant-based nutrients!
Alright, this sounds crazy but I’m gonna come right out and say it… this creamy hemp smoothie makes me feel like superwoman! Every time I drink one of these, I get a crazy burst of energy and feel the urge to throw on a cape and take over the world. (Okay, maybe that’s exaggerating just a tad, but still.)
It’s so chocolatey, thick, and dense; jam-packed with protein and nutrients. And it just so happens that it tastes delicious too. The trick is using a ripe banana (lots of brown spots) since those are much sweeter and more flavorful. Grab your capes and let’s do this!

This smoothie has such a fabulous, rich look to it…great photos, too! I have yet to experiment with hemp, thanks for the inspiration!
This smoothie is soooo incredibly delicious. It is so creamy!! Instead of using 1/2 cup almond milk, I used 1/4 cup lite canned coconut milk & 1/4 cup almond milk. I had it for breakfast with an Oh She Glows banana bread muffin top and I was full for a few hours. So happy I came across this! Thank you so much for sharing!! I'll be making it all the time!
I was having an awful time getting it to the thickness I wanted (not watery, but still pourable) so I just turned it into pudding XD I also used hemp powder instead of hemp seeds.
Using the powder instead may have thickened it a little more, but this is definitely a dense smoothie! Grabbing a spoon and eating it as pudding is a great idea!
