15 Mins

Ingredients

1 cup soy milk unsweetened
3 tablespoons hemp hearts
2 tablespoons peanut butter all natural
1 banana medium, very ripe
1/2 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
1/4 cup cooked quinoa plain

Directions

In a blender, add all the ingredients except cooked quinoa. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds before turning up to high speed until smooth and creamy - about one minute total time spent blending should do it!
