You can’t go wrong with this health-boosting and cleansing smoothie.

That looks and sounds wonderful! I love hemp hearts and add them to my yogurt and milk kefir a lot. I absolutely adore that little glass, I have never seen one like that. Is it a half pint? I have a couple similar in a regular pint size but that one is so cute!

Thanks @raincountry! Not sure! I think it can hold about a cup of fluids, maybe a bit more! just thought it was a cute little jar too when I saw it in the store ;) Hemp hearts taste so great! Love their earthy nutty flavor!
