This peach and banana green smoothie with hemp seeds and baby spinach is a quick and nutritious breakfast without having to cook a thing!
Peach Banana Green Smoothie with Hemp Seeds
At least 3 to 4 days a week, I start my morning with a green smoothie because it’s you can just throw so many fruit combinations together in the blender and your healthy breakfast is ready in less than a minute. More of my favorite morning breakfast smoothies are my Summer Mango Stone Fruit Smoothie, Kale Banana Chia Hemp Superfood Smoothie, and Superfood Peanut Butter Banana and Cacao Green Smoothie.
I love this time of year when sweet juicy peaches and other stone fruits are in season. It’s the perfect time to make this delicious smoothie, because frozen peaches just aren’t the same. For this protein packed liquid breakfast, I combined the peaches (skin and all) with a frozen ripe banana, some hemp seeds for extra protein, almond milk and baby spinach (you can’t taste it, I promise!) My toddler loves green smoothies and always reminds me to buy spinach when I’m out (cracks me up!).
I often get asked about my blender, and I can’t say enough good things about my Blendtec Total Blender. I never really knew what I was missing until I owned it, and now I’m not sure I could ever live without it. It’s so powerful, perfect for whipping up smoothies and so much more. If you don’t have one, no worries, I used to use my magic bullet and it worked just fine.
And just one note about counting points in smoothies, as per Weight Watchers the official answer is yes, you should count the fruit when you calculate the recipe in recipe builder when making smoothies. That being said, I’ve been told many WW leaders don’t. One WW leader mentioned on my Facebook page: “you should let your weight loss be your guide. If you’re doing smoothies within reason, I wouldn’t count the points”. So it’s really up to you, if you don’t count the fruit, this smoothie is 3 points plus.
