Tips:

Nutrition know-how: Whole fruits contain more vitamins and fibre than fruit juice. Smoothies are a great way to enjoy whole fruits. Try different options in the same 1 ½ cup amount in the recipe.
Ingredient spotlight: Hemp hearts or hemp seeds are a source of plant-based protein and provide heart healthy polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fat.
