I use Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds in so many recipes; protein smoothies, fruit bowls, salads, yogurt, muffins, cookies.. the possibilities are endless. I keep a little bowl with a mix of hemp seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds for easy access (I stole that idea from Lauren Evarts of The Skinny Confidential).
Hemp hearts contain 10 grams of protein, all 10 essential amino acids, omega-3, omega-6, and omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) which has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones, and general heart health. If that wasn't enough hemp hearts also contain magnesium, fiber, iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
This week, Manitoba Harvest and I are giving 8 lucky readers a 1 pound bag of hemp hearts!
