Orange is the New Green.

The protein in this shake, derived largely from hemp, is easy to digest and loaded with fiber and important omega fatty acids. Hemp has negligible amounts of THC, the cannabinoid that results in the feeling of being high, so there is no psychotropic effect at all. Packed with crazy nutrition, this smoothie is a satisfying meal replacement that includes plenty of good protein to keep you sated and on the go for hours. I happened to have cooked carrots in the fridge when I first tested this recipe. The carrot and mango were a great duo.

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 ice cubes
