Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, hemp seeds, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Add 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin, then blend briefly to combine.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use vanilla protein powder to complement hemp's nutty flavor. If you want a thinner smoothie, add more milk gradually while blending.
