Chock-full of nutrition, this smoothie will have you going strong all morning. It contains slow-burning carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and high-quality, alkaline-forming protein. Unlike traditional breakfasts, this one digests easily. As a result, not as much blood will be drawn to the stomach, leaving more to circulate through the brain, enhancing the ability to think clearly and work efficiently.

Instructions
In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the ice and cacao nibs.
Add ice to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the liquid line.

Serve topped with cacao nibs or blitz the nibs for a second or two to mix.
Hemp seeds can also be added last without including into the blender. Be generous as these seeds provide abundant nutrition and protein.
