Put unsweetened almond milk, hemp seeds, vanilla protein powder, and frozen strawberries into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Use unsweetened almond milk since regular almond milk contains sugar. Instead of almond milk, you can use any milk you like, like soy or dairy.
Most of the protein in this smoothie comes from vanilla protein powder. The vanilla flavor works well with strawberries but you can also use unflavored protein powder.
If you want a thicker smoothie, add a few extra frozen strawberries or ice cubes.
You can thin the smoothie if it's too thick for your liking. Simply add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
For a sweeter smoothie, add a chopped Medjool date to the blender after the hemp seeds. Another option is to add 1 tablespoon date syrup or honey along with the milk.
Store leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for 1-2 days.
