Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces.
In a blender, combine the almond milk, banana, hemp seeds, protein powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the shake is chilled and frothy.
If the shake is too thick, you can add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
Once everything is well blended, pour the protein shake into a glass.
You can sprinkle some additional hemp seeds on top for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious hemp seeds protein shake!
